I had Restylane injections yesterday around 1pm. I got 1ml in my upper lip to bring more balance to my lips. I've had this treatment before. I had Emervel lips done about 4 times and Restylane about 2 times this was the second time. These fillers have been proven to be safe and are being used here in Europe all the time. I always swell up really bad after a treatment but I feel like this time the swelling is horrible! And I hope it will go down I feel really unattractive.

Answer: Swelling in lips after Restylane treatment
Restylane silk is a great new product indicated for the perioral rhytides and lip area only but swelling in this area should be expected. It is post op edema and will resolve over few days typically. Not indicated for the nasolablial folds. Would recommend you discuss your case and concerns...
Thank ypu for ypur question. You have a improved result after filler. Your still swollen after your filler injection and the swelling will last for another 1-2 weeks. I would not advise adding more filler to the area. Discuss your concerns with ypur injector.
Hi,Restylane absorbs water from surrounding tissue so it may make the injected area look swollen after injection. That's why I choose radiesse as the first choice product for non-surgical rhinoplasty. This may take some time to resolve or your doctor can dissolve it at some point.Best,Dr.S.
