I got injected 0.8 ml of Restylane Kyss. This was my third injection (all around the same amount of filler) over the course of roughly a year. The first picture shows my lips right after the injection, I was very happy with the result. This morning I woke up with stiff, overly swollen fake looking lips (pic. 2). I am scared that this will be my final result. Is there any likelihood that this will be the case or will my lips go back to how they looked after the injection? Thanks in advance!

Answer: Restylane Kyss Hi thank you for your question. It can take up to 2 weeks for swelling and bruising to completely resolve. If it had only been 20 hours after the injection, as noted in your picture, then it is very likely that most of what you are seeing is swelling.

Answer: Lip Filler From your note you did not mention what time period had passed since your injections. If it has been less than 10 days, i would just let it settle in If you still have concerns after 10-14 days, i would recommend that you revisit your injector for them to evaluate your lips further. At this time, your result seems appropriate if it has only been a few days.Best,Pamela Stuart, MD
