I just had Restylane injected yesterday and my immediate results were a tad too plump but was assured it was swollen. Now, the next day, they are ridiculously large. What can I do? I feel so foolish for messing with my face.

Answer: Swelling after Restylane
Immediately after the treatment, the treated area can be slightly swollen and red. This is a normal result of the injection and it generally goes away in a day or two. I suggest giving it a few more days and using some ice compresses. Also, sleep with your head elevated on several pillows for a few nights.

Answer: How Do I Fix my Over-filled Lips?
You are most likely still swollen, as the swelling can last for a few days with some patients. As I’m sure you are aware, Restylane is reabsorbed by the body in varying amounts of time (generally 6 to 9 months), and I would give it a few more days. If, indeed, you feel that your lips are too “plump”, Hyaluronidase is a natural substance found in the body, and may be injected into the area where the Restylane was injected, and this will catalyze the breakdown of the Restylane.
