Answer: Restylane lip fillers; I had 0.5ml of lip filler 3 days ago and since got a really bad sore throat and swollen gums?
Thank you for your question. The great thing about Restylane is that is a hyaluronic acid filler that can be dissolved with an enzyme known as hyaluronidase. I recommend dissolving the filler and you can always have this re-injected later on. Please always remember to see an expert. Best of Luck!
We really can not advise you on something that we don't even have any idea what could look like. Please, post some photos to be able to assess your lower eyelids and be able to answer your concerns.
I
have never heard of putting tape over a Restylane injection site, but
that doesn't mean it shouldn't be done, as long as your results are
good. Please call your practitioner if you feel uncomfortable. Best,
Dr. Emer
