I went in yesterday and I now look like I have duck lips. I was in so much pain, taking Tylonol and Ibuprophen. The doctor is board certified.
Answer: Swelling after Restylane--Lip Augmentation with Fillers (Restylane, Juvederm) or Lip Implant or Fat It can take 1-2 weeks for swelling to resolve after lip injections. If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Lips Its normal to have swelling after the injection of Restylane to the lips. I would give it 1-2 weeks for the swelling to diminish before you need to decide if other actions need to be taken. In the meantime, I would ice the area several times a day to help the swelling lessen.

Answer: Board certification is not a guarantee that your doctor knows what they are doing. Lips can and do swell. If you bruise, this swelling will last longer. Generally the lips settle in a couple of days unless there is bruising in which cases, the swelling will persist until the bruising resolves. If the unwanted effect persists through Monday, consider seeing your injector for their feedback. Consider posting a photo here as well.

Answer: How long does it take for swelling of lips to go down after Restylane injections? Thank you for this question. Sound fillers and some patients will lead to longer episodes of swelling. On average, swelling is better in most aft 72 hours, but some patients may go longer. Icing is really helpful and so is Arnica. Massage does not always help.See my video below for more ideas.Best wishes, Dr. ALDO :)
