Lip Augmentation

While Restylane can be dissolved if you are unhappy with your results, depending on when you had the lip augmentation performed, you may be experiencing swelling which will subside a few weeks after treatment. If you feels lumps or feel that it is truly uneven, depending on when it was done, it may be moldable.

Let this settle for about a week.

You may need to have your treatment adjusted or removed. Because lips swell immediately upon treatment sometimes the lips will look bee stung at first. Then they calm down. However, the truth is that many injectors are not artful. The upper lip can be too big or the result can be irregular. An artful injector is unlikely to have results like this. Small lumps can be felt at the time of treatment and adjusted at the moment of service. Bumps that are... more

Reversing Restylane in Lips

All of us are asymmetrical (eyes, cheeks, etc) and inflammation may augment the asymmetry. The nice thing about hyaluronic acid fillers (Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm etc) is that they CAN be dissolved with the injection of Hyaluronidase. However, in this early period it may be too soon to pull the panic cord and do so. Why not wait the swelling out and SEE what things really look like once it subsides? If you had your treatment doned by a reputable Plastic surgeon, I'm sure he... more

Uneven lips after Restylane injections....

If you just got injectied, I would highly recommend you ice your lips at least for the first 24 to 48 hours. This is to help decrease some of the swelling. Second, let the product settle for at least 1 week before you request the product be removed. If at that time you still see a noticeable uneveness of shape in your lips then you can have your provider dissolve the product with hyaluronidase. -it's that simple. Hope this helps. Good luck... more

Can You Reverse Restylane in Lips? My Results Are Uneven.

Lip Augmentation using Restylane or Juvederm can create some minor swelling for a day or so. Be sure that the MD performing the Lip Augmentation understands and follows the proper aesthetics of facial (and lip) beauty in order to create soft, full, naturally attractive lips with the right aesthetic proportions.

Can Restylane in Lips be Reversed?

Hi Jesse. Yes, not to worry, the Restylane in your lips can be removed. If your practitioner offers it, you can try Vitrase (hyaluronidase). This enzyme quickly and easily dissolves injected Restylane, Juvederm or Perlane. Should be gone soon after. Good luck.

Can You Reverse Restylane in Lips? My Results Are Uneven.

Yes, it can be reversed with a product called hyaluronidase, However, there may be uneveness initially for ar least a week from a small amount of bleeding on one side. It is also possible that the injecting physician did not inject it evenly. You will not know this until the swelling is gone. Another option is to inject a little more in the smaller side. Great care must be used when injecting into the lips as they are so predominant and visible. I have found that using the Dermasculpt... more

Reversing Restylane in lips

The best course of action is to wait at least 1 week for swelling to subside. Then determine if you need to fill the other side or use hyaluronidase to dissolve some of the filler. It's all about symmetry.

Uneven lips after Restylane injections

Resytlane and other hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm and Perlane can be reversed with a injectable product called hyaluronidase. Any assymetry can also be adjusted with additional Restylane injections to achieve a more balanced appearance. As the other doctors aptly noted a recommended course of action would also be determined by how recent the Restylane injections were performed. It is not uncommon for patients to have a fair amount of swelling and after their... more

Restylane in lips uneven

Uneven lips form restylane can be adjusted either with more filler, or dissolving the product and starting over or leaving it alone.

Uneven lips after Restylane augmentation

If your lips are asymmetrical or unneven a few days to a week or two after the injection, I would not worry. This could be due to a number of factors, most likely swelling. I would first try massaging the lips and the area you are worried about. The swelling will gradually come down over the next few days to weeks. If after that time, you are still unhappy with the results, Restylane can be added to the deficient areas to even them out or even hyaluronidase can... more

Uneven lip enhancement

Lips swell a lot after restylane/Juvederm injections. if you just got them within the past 2-3 days this is completely normal. They could be a little uneven because of bruising or uneven swelling, not because of the Restylane. Apply some ice through the weekend. Lips stay swollen for a while also. Give it at least 3-4 weeks.Don't freak!

Restylane to lips.

If you just had it done it may be due to swelling. Give it a few weeks before any further treatment. If after a few weeks the lips still appear uneven then see your physician who can add more product to even things out or add hyaluronidase to dissolve product that may appear excessive in a given area. Good Luck.

Lip swelling after restylane

First, most people have normal asymetery. But if you notice a big difference after the injection, it may be due to several things. It could simply be swelling. If the lips is still uneven, you could either have more put in the other side or have hyaluronidase injected.
