1 ml of Restylane kysse 6 days ago and lips are still swollen/bottom lip is stiff in some areas - is this normal?

I had 1ml of restylane injected 3 months ago, and the product had dissolved in my upper lip and a little remained in bottom lip. A week ago I had another 1ml restylane kysse injected and now my lips are still swollen/looks quite unnatural. I understand it takes 2 weeks to completely heal but shouldn't some of the swelling have gone by now?

Thank you for your question. Yes, you can have filler injections a week before having your dental surgery. However, I would recommend waiting at least 2 weeks between treatments to ensure all swelling resolves and reduce your risk of infection. It is better to be cautious. I hope this helps.
