I got 0.5 restylane last night and I know swelling is normal. But this swelling is unreal (especially on one side) and I don’t think my mouth can swell anymore than it already has. It hurts to talk. I just want comfort to know this swelling will go down.
Answer: Swelling After Lip Injections Thank you for your question. It is common to have some swelling after Restylane for lip augmentation and can take up to 2 weeks to fully resolve and see your final results. You can apply ice to your lips to help reduce the swelling. It is also advisable to avoid any NSAID’s before and after treatment as they tend to thin the blood and increase swelling and bruising. I recommend having a follow up with your injector if you have any concerns. Best of Luck!

Answer: Severe swelling after Restylane... normal or allergy? I’m really scared. Thanks for the question and the photos and sorry that you are having these concerns after your Restylane injections. We always recommend that you have these injections performed in the offices of board certified dermatologists or plastic surgeons – we are the true experts in these injections. For you, it is important to know which Restylane product was injected – Restylane Silk, approved for this, does swell the most of the Restylane fillers. Your provider should have reviewed all of this with you as well. The swelling will go down and you will be fine – use ice and gentle massage and over the next two weeks, things will be okay for you. You can always dissolve the Restylane but most do not need to do this. Good luck.
