I had Restaylne L injections 3 days ago. Two syringes total. I was in a lot of pain in my upper lip and my upper lip is bumpy. The doctor said he used a little more on the upper lip than lower. Is there asymetry with my lips? Do they appear to be proportionate? There is also minor bruising above my lips. I had this procedure 10 months ago and used 1-1/2 syringes and never felt pain like this time around?
Answer: Uneven swollen lips 3 days post Thank you for sharing your question. It is not uncommon for the lips to swell following injection of Restylane. Next time your doctor might want to inject less and touch it up a couple weeks later. Use cold compresses in the meantime. Inform your doctor if the pain does not subside quickly. Good luck,

Answer: It is common to have swelling and bumps after lip augmentation, which can take up 2 weeks to resolve. Thank you for your question. It is common to have swelling and bumps after lip augmentation, which can take up 2 weeks to resolve. You can ice the lips to help resolve any swelling and gently massage the bumps to help smooth them out. If after 2 weeks you are not happy with your results, you can have the filler dissolved with hyaluronidase. Please remember to follow up with your injector for evaluation. Best of Luck!

Answer: Wait longer Since it is only been 3 days since you had the injection , I would be patient and wait to see what your lips like when the swelling goes down. Also in general if you're happy with one positions results then I would stick with that position rather than changing to another

Answer: Swelling after Restylane Thank you for your question and for submitting your photos. The lips are a sensitive area, and are particularly prone to swelling and bruising that can last up to 2 weeks after filler injections. It's also not uncommon to feel small lumps of Restylane in the lips immediately after injection - over the course of the next few weeks, the Restylane typically absorbs water and softens, gradually blending into your skin. It's not uncommon for this swelling to be uneven, which makes it impossible to determine what your final results will be until swelling has fully subsided. Lip injections can be painful, however it's important to bring this up with your injector if you feel that the pain is unlike what you experienced with past injections, as severe pain can be a sign of more serious issues.
