How long will my swelling and bruising last after fillers with Restylane? How long will my results last? (Photo)

Thank you for your question. It is too early to determine what your final results will be. It is common to have some swelling and bruising after lip injections and should resolve in 1-2 weeks. You can apply ice to the treated to help resolve swelling. Filler in the lips can last 6-9 months. If after 2 weeks you are unhappy with your results you can have the filler dissolved with an enzyme known as hyaluronidase. Best of Luck!  

Thanks for your question and the photos – they are helpful.  All of your questions should have been fully explained to you before you had your filler and before you left the injector’s office – was this not the case?  Swelling can last up to two weeks and the bruising should be gone within one week. Everyone responds differently to lip fillers – most will last 6-9 months or more when done by an expert injector, but on occasion less and on occasion more – so no one can predict 100% how long they will last but hopefully in your case you will do just fine for many months.
