Please help!! I had collagen (restylane) lip filler injected into my top lip. I had the normal swelling for about 6 days then it was fine. This is the 3rd week and now my lip is very swollen and stiff and I look awful! What can I do? I hate looking in the mirror:(

Lip filler
At 3 weeks unless you had a very large amount of filler placed, you should not look like this. Go see your doctor to be evaluated.

Swelling after lip filler
You need to see your PLASTIC SURGEON IMMEDIATELY.
You may have an infection when the swelling is occuring that late after the injections.
Treatment is disolve the Restylane, antibiotics and if there is an abscess it needs to be opened and drained

Lip swelling after Restylane
I would hope that you have seen your doctor, and you had this procedure done by a board certified plastic surgeon. A medication called hyaluronidase can be injected to dissolve the product.
