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: Overfilled Lips Significant swelling can be very common after having Restylane injected at the lips. The swelling will continue to reduce over the next several days, so I suggest you give it some time. If after 2 weeks, you still feel that they are too large, you may ask your injector about hyaluronidase which is a product that will dissolve the filler. Most of the time, patience and massage end up being sufficient. Swelling is usually most prominent when waking up in the morning, so head elevation can help reduce swelling.

Answer: Restylane and swelling
Sometimes lips swell to a "ridiculously large" size, then settle down after several days....icing is good, and patience too. I would recommend following up with your provider, just so they're aware - but I wouldn't consider removing the product until after the swelling has subsided.

Answer: Swelling after Restylane in the lips
Swelling can be present for a week after filler injection. So I wouldn't judge your results quite yet, but may want to notify your doctor so they reconsider the volume amount they inject in the future. If you are experiencing pain or itching, you should notify your doctor. Good luck.

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.
