Does throwing up affect Restylane results?

Question

I had 1/2 a syringe of restylane injected in my top lip on Saturday. After dinner that day I started feeling really nauseous so I induced vomiting which helped for an hour or so but then I started throwing up more that night and some the next day. I noticed after I had induced vomiting that my lip seemed to look less full than it had earlier in the day. Could the strain of that have messed up my results so I need to redo it or is it more likely that was just swelling that subsided?

No, this is unlikely to negatively impact your results. It will take 1-2 weeks for final results. If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Assuming the Restylane was injected properly, you should not have too much too worry about.  The decreased size in your lip is most likely a result of the swelling going down after your treatment.  However, if you continue to have questions about your results, there is no substitute for an in-person consultation with your doctor to discuss your concerns.

This is very unlikely to effect your results.  If you saw a decrease in the size of your upper lip this is due most likely to the healing process.  The lips always appear larger right after you inject them due to swelling and then go down significantly in a few days.  Full results will be seen about 2 weeks after injecting when all swelling and bruising is gone.

I would guess that it was most likely swelling that has gone down that you are noticing. Throwing up after filler shouldn't affect the HA filler that had already been placed in your lips. The filler should still last about 6-12 months for you in that area. Hope this helps!
