Lips Swollen After Restylane

Hi Sally.  While we are not sure that you will be ready for your event in four days, we are sure that the welling will go down.  We would expect you to go back to looking just like you did after the injections if there was no swelling at that time.  Good luck.

Hi SallyAnne,

Sorry to hear about your swollen lips after Restylane.  Hopefully the swelling will go down over the next few days.  Speak with your injecting physician.  If they are still too large 24 hours before your big event, you may consider having a small amount of hyaluronidase injected to decrease the size.  We recommend having your treatments about 10 to 14 days before big events just in case there is bruising or unusual swelling.  Good luck, be well, and hopefully no "quack, quack!"
