I had a combo of Radiesse for my jawline and mouth corners and restalyne for my lip lines. It's been almost 24 hours and I have been icing the area. But is there an over the counter med I can take to reduce the swelling? I read something about Zyrtec and Benedryl. Is that helpful?

Answer: Icing is helpful, and so is time.
Unfortunately, sometimes patience and tincture of time are the best remedies for the swelling that is caused by these treatments. Arnca is completely ineffective so I would not bother with this. I treat a lot of actors and working broadcasters. For these folks, sometimes I will prescribe corticosteroids. However it is also possible to have some remarkably severe reactions to the steroids, so generally these are reserved for critical circumstances.

Answer: Help for swelling after Radiesse Swelling is a very common and normal response to fillers, especially Radiesse. I always have my patients ice for 24 hours after the procedure as well as take a wonderful supplement blend of Arnica and Bromelain the day before the procedure and a few days after and it is quite helpful! Other than that, there is really no need for any other medications and I believe less is more here.
