How Soon Can I Get Another Round of Restylane Injected into Lips?

July 23, 2012
Asked By:pythonpriss in Westchester, NY

I had 0.5mL of Restylane injected in my small lips 4 days ago. It was my first time doing anything of the sort and I wanted to be "conservative" about it. The swelling seemed to be gone by the end of the day following my injections and now 4 days later, I see/feel some change but not as much as I'd hoped. Is it safe to get more so soon? If so, how soon can I do it?
