I feel like my lips look the same and wondering if I should just get more or if the restylane doesn't work? The swelling seems to 95% gone down so I'm thinking my lips may get even smaller.

Answer: Restylane Results Thank you for your question and for submitting your photos. While I can't make exact recommendations without assessing you in-person, based on your photos, I think that your results are very subtle. Do you remember how much Restylane was injected? Considering the fact that you are still likely experiencing mild swelling, I can't imagine you were injected with more than half a syringe, if even that. It's likely that you will need additional filler - I would recommend waiting two weeks any remaining swelling to fully subside, and then discussing your concerns with your injector. You may benefit from a different product, like Juvederm Ultra or Ultra Plus, for more dramatic volume.

Answer: Restylane in Lips While I see a slight amount of fullness, I do agree that they look nearly the same and at two days post, there is likely residual swelling, thus they will get smaller still. How much product was injected? Based on the results two days post, I would assume not very much - probably 1/2 syringe or less. Another possible contributing factor here is your discussion with your injector prior to the procedure about the kind of results you were looking for? It is possible that they understood that you wanted a very conservative enhancement. I would advise returning to your injector and explaining to them your concern and I am sure they will be happy to add more, if desired.
