Thank you for your question. Sculptra is not indicated for they lips, and we do not inject lips with that product. We only use HA products, Juvederm and Restylane. I do not believe that is recommended by the company in even off label use. I know of no one doing that. I hope...
Thank you for your question. Short time swelling is not uncommon. The key is to follow up with your Doctor and be certain they re managing your recovery. Swelling may put pressure on the sinuses which will be relieved once the edema subsides. I hope this helps!
