I am freaking out. I had resty injected 4 months ago in the folds around my mouth - conservative amount - 1 syringe total. I went back today for a touch up because I thought I needed a bit more. I think Dr. went way overboard! I kept saying, "not too much"...she said it looked great. Ugh, I look like a freak.
I hope it's swelling, but I dont think it is all swelling...seriously, what do I do? I've been massaging it, but maybe that's not a good idea? What now? I cannot go in public. My husband is out of town til Friday so that is why I did this now.
Answer: Chill and Relax......... First off...don't freak out! That will only raise your blood pressure causing the blood vessels in your skin to fill with more blood and draw more heat to the surface of your face. The reason I mention this is due to the fact that Restylane attracts water and the warmer the surface of your skin is the more likely it is to react and hold water (this natural activity cools down the blood vessels). The end result is that the Restylane in the nasal labial folds will draw from this supply, causing the injected area to appear significantly overfilled. Try ice packs and relax . . . I can tell by the tone of your question that this may be a sensative subject at home, but trust that this is not an unlikely reaction to a follow-up fill!

Answer: Dermal fillers Hi @legna. I recommend waiting two weeks for swelling to subside. If you are still unhappy after two weeks, the filler called be dissolved with Hyaluronidase. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Answer: Too much product It could be swelling which could take up to two weeks to resolve. Use ice packs, keep your head elevated, and consider the supplements arnica and bromelain to help minimize bruising and swelling. You can get the product dissolved with hyaluronidase if you feel there is too much.

Answer: Swelling After Restylane Swelling after having a Restylane treatment is very common, especially within the first few days. It can continue to reduce in swelling over the next couple of weeks. It is fine to massage the area, but over time, the swelling should subside on its own and the area should look less full. If you still do not like the look after allowing ample time for the swelling to subside, see your injector. There are ways to dissolve the filler with hyaluronidase, but normally this is not necessary.

Answer: Swelling If the treatment was performed just today, then I would suggest you avoid touching or massaging the area unless it was advised by your injector to do so. This is because product can be displaced. At this time, you are probably affected by swelling, and the massaging may make it worse. Please wait 2 weeks or so and if the swelling hasn’t subsided by that time and you don’t see the results you want, return to your injector for a follow-up.
