Swelling is very common after having fillers injected, it usually takes a full 2 weeks for the product to settle to see your final result
Swelling and bruising following injection of filler is normal. A little bit of ice before and after injections will help. It is also important to avoid other over the counter medications and supplements like ibuprofen, NSAIDS, vitamin E, and fish oil. All of them can contribute to bruising. Arnica Montana is a homeopathic supplement that can be taken prior to injections. This will also help prevent bruising from taking place. I would recommend following up with the physician who performed your injections with any concerns. Thank you, and I hope this helps answer your question!
Yes - it is absolutely normal and expected to experience bruising and/or significant swelling after dermal filler injections. This can last several days. Using ice and having patience - then follow up with your provider after minimally 1 to 2 weeks for any pronounced lumps or asymmetry.
It is quite common to have some swelling after Restylane injections. Normally, this should only last a few days, so if it doesn't seem to be going down, you should definitely see your treating physician.
Swelling or bruising can happen often after Restylane injections. I would ice the treated area to reduce swelling and take Arnica to prevent bruising. The swelling should resolve over the next week. If anything seems still uneven or swollen you should return to your treating physician to discuss and evaluate.
