“Restylane (Upper Lip Lines) - the After Effects”

Hey there- you can relax. It was only 2 days ago. It takes several days or a week for everything to settle down. Use soft icepacks to help the swelling and bruising. 20 minutes at a time. As for the bruising it is advised not to take any medications that will thin your blood at least a week beforehand. This would be ibuprofen, aspirin, or any anticoagulant. Try taking Vitamin K the week prior as well to help control the bruising. Good Luck!

It is VERY unfair of you to form a negative opinion of this product simply due to the fact you have bruising after injection. Opinions are based upon how well the product performs at what purpose it is serving. Of course you are going to swell and bruise...you just had a foriegn substance injected around your mouth. Some people bruise more than others, some hardly at all, that is just how it goes..... So to be fair here, give it a few weeks after everything settles down and THEN form an unbiased opinion on the actual performance of the product, not because you don't like what it's doing to you after the injection....no one ever said beauty doesn't cause any pain. If I had to endure a few days of major swelling or bruising to get a positive improvement, you bet I'd suck it up buttercup...I suggest you do the same. If after all is said and done and you don't think this product worked for you, then come back and let us know...then we will care.

have you tried renova cream?its by prescription only.i started using it at the age of 38,because i was starting to see vertical lines from smoking.i am 44 now,still use it 2times a week,and have no lines.works great for entire face.i use it under my eyes also.i even put it on my lips at night.its never too late to start,it will soften lines and prevent new ones.you must cleanse skin and wait 10-15 min before application.only a small amount is needed,about the size of a pea or less,and follow with a very emolient moisterizer.you will wake up with the softest skin.you will see results pretty quick.make sure to wear sunscreen!! good luck
