I had lip augmentation done today. The doctor injected Restylane silk into my top and bottom lip. He used 2cc's- 1cc for top and 1 cc for bottom- two full syringes in total. My lips are now painful, swollen and appear duck-like. I'm terrified. Everything I'm reading is telling me that 1cc between both lips is normal. I wanted a "natural" look. They also appear very uneven on the bottom and are brushing terribly. I also paid close to $1,500. I don't know what to do. Is this normal?!
Answer: Restylane Silk Lip Injections Thank you for your question. Based on your photographs it appears to have some swelling and also bruising after your upper and lower lip injections. This is common after filler injections to this area. I recommend that you continue putting ice on your lips. Try not to squeeze or touch them too much beyond that. I would also make sure you have a follow-up with your inject her scheduled for a recheck. Best of luck.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Need to come in to consult For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Restylane Silk It is very early and the swelling will resolve in the next couple of days. That being said, the majority of my patients receive one syringe of Restylane Silk as I think it is a more natural look than using two syringes in that area.

Answer: Swelling Thank you for your question and photos. You are experiencing swelling which is very normal, especially following the injection of that much product. It is not unheard of to inject two syringes at the same time, although it is not something that I personally do very often. Give it time for the swelling to go down.Best of Luck,

Answer: Swelling after fillers The lips can swell fairly significantly after any manipulation or trauma such as injections or surgery. Bruising is also not uncommon. The swelling also may get worse after the first day, and patients will often wake up with significant swelling the day after injections. Swelling can take several days (or sometimes even longer) to resolve, so patients should be encouraged to be patient and remain calm. Keeping the head elevated, using cold packs immediately after injection, and limiting the trauma of the injection itself can all help to decrease swelling. Avoiding NSAIDs, aspirin, and other blood-thinning medications or supplements can help to decrease bruising, as can the technique of the injector. As always, a visit with a well-trained facial plastic surgeon is recommended. All the best,
