I received two injections yesterday -one of restalyn silk the other of just regular restalyn. I noticed severe swelling in my top lip about 5 hours after the procedure. Is this normal? Should I go visit my doctor? Did I get too much fillers? It's difficult to talk and they feel tight when I do talk.
Answer: Swelling Thanks for your question. The swelling can be present up to 2 to 3 days after the treatments. You can place ice packs on the lips to help with the swelling. I hope this helps. Dr. Newall

Answer: Lip Swelling After Fillers Such as Juvederm or Restylane -- Reverse With Hyaluronidase Lip Swelling After Fillers Such as Juvederm or Restylane -- Reverse With HyaluronidaseIt 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: It is common to have some swelling and bruising after lip augmentation fillers which can take up to 2 weeks to resolve. Thank you for your question. It is common to have some swelling and bruising after lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid fillers which can take up to 2 weeks to resolve. You can help reduce swelling by applying cold compresses to the lips. As HA fillers are not permanent you can have them dissolved with hyaluronidase if unhappy with the results. If you have any other concerns please follow up with your injector. Best of Luck!
