Had my upper lip boosted with restylane 3 days ago. I'm happy with the shape and size. However, I can still feel significant bumps on my inner upper lip where the doc injected. I was told they would smooth within 3 to 4 days....they are not smoothing out as of yet. Anyone have exp with this? I'm hoping they go away soon! Also, is fat transfer to the lip a good way to go?? I'm testing resty to see if i might do something more permanent. Thanks!!
Answer: Lip swelling after Restylane or Juvederm is to be expected and temporary Both Restylane and Juvederm are fillers that are made of hyaluronic acid fillers, known as humectant, meaning that tendency to draw water/hydration to the area of injection. In another words, hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm work, at least partially by plumping the skin via hydration. Therefore swelling after lip augmentation is to be expected but should subside in a week or two. For first timers, less is better. Natural lip augmentation can be achieved simply by accentuating the vermilion border.

Answer: It is fairly common to feel some lumps and bumps after lip filler injections. It is fairly common to feel some lumps and bumps after lip filler injections. These are usually due to swelling and will resolve within a week or two. If they have not resolved after two weeks, visit your injector again for a follow-up to discuss your options. If the lumps bother you, you have the option to dissolve your filler with hyaluronidase.

Answer: Restylane "bumps" after injection in the lips You may feel the "bumps" from Restylane injections in the lips for a considerable time. However, any external visible bumpiness goes away rather quickly as the body re-balances the water content between your tissues and the hyaluronic gel.

Answer: Recovery after lip augmentation Great question and be patient. The bumps and firmness you may be feeling are likely from the injection and not the actual product. They are probably mucosal hematomas or bruising in the lip. It may take almost 2 weeks for them to go away, and if not resolved at that time it may represent some product which is temporary and will go away over time. Sometimes massage can help as well if really bothersome after a month you could try to have it dissolved with a hyaluronidase injection.
