Restylane Kiss nightmare - 1 month since lip injections. (photo)

C
Claudia_FrMar 1, 2017

Good evening there, It has been over little a month Restylane kiss was injected in my lips. I am very worried that it won't go away. As you see in the picture it's all in the upper lip area, and I refuse to go back to the same doctor to be injected ialurodinase. Should I use hot compresses, massage? Go to get an x-ray... Please help me, I am very worried.

Thank you for your picture.  The area under the eyes is very vascular - combined with the thin skin/muscle of that area, it means that if there is significant bruising you can get a hemosiderin stain on the skin for some time (as the bruise breaks down and gets resorbed by your body, the break ...

Depending on how much was injected it is most likely that there was some postoperative swelling that gave you the results you really liked. As that settles the true volume (1 syringe = 1 mL) is what is left.  This is a common scenario with fillers. It does indicate that you would likely be ...
