Yesterday I had a Just about an entire syringe of Restylane Silk injected into my lips. Reading from doctor "you have full lips, this will even it out." However, 75% of it went Into my top lip. Now it's so bumpy, you can see it. It looks gross and feels terrible. Is this something that will go away?

Answer: Lip Swelling/Lumps After Fillers Such as Juvederm or Restylane -- Reverse With Hyaluronidase or Have Patience It is common to get swelling after fillers into the lips. It is not normal to have irregularities or severe swelling. If you are unhappy you should speak to your physician and have the area injected with hyaluronidase, an enzyme that reverses the hyaluronic acid filler. For the next injections, consider Restylane Silk with cannula injection, this technique will limit the pain, swelling or bruising after the filler placement. It often takes up to two weeks for swelling to subside on its own. Find an expert in filler injections for your future treatments. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Restylane Silk's temporary swelling I have found that Restylane Silk in most areas tends to give less swelling other than the lips. Lips give swelling with any product approved for lip injection, so a significant amount of swelling is not unusual. Typically with the lips being so vascular, bruising is also a common side effect. Some patients have found that Arnica can help reduce both swelling and bruising. Cold packs are a must to help reduce your swelling and they can also minimize bruising. As for the 75% placement in the upper lip, most likely this may just be due to the apparent increased attention to placement in the upper lip. Some patients do prefer a larger upper lip, as this look has become more prominent with the advent of the Kardashians, but in my experience, the upper lip appears to swell much more than the lower lip and after a short period of time, the swelling reduces and the appearance balances between the upper and lower lips.
