Marge Simpson swelling after Restylane Silk injections to lips

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Swelling is perfectly normal but we can oftentimes underestimate the effect. It normally takes 3-4 days for swelling to reside post-injection treatment but it does vary patient to patient. When swelling around the lip occurs, the skin can feel stiff and similar to the injected lip, oftentimes leading on the scare of migrated filler. I highly suggest allowing one full week for filler to settle within the lips.

It is normal to have swelling 24 hours after lip injection.  It is also common to have swelling in the lip above the place the filler was injected.  This swelling should resolve and does not mean that the filler has migrated upwards.  I would recommend not icing the area, as some patients actually swell more after icing Restylane Silk.
Best wishes,Dr. Amy Hsu

Swelling can be typical. Icing and cold compresses may give improvement. I would wait a full 2 weeks before judging the results. If it is after the two week wait, you can have the filler reversed with hyaluronidase.
I hope this helps!

Hello and thank you for sharing. It is not uncommon to have swelling post lip injections. You should expect to see your final results two weeks post procedure. We also recommend taking arnica for swelling and bruising. For best results, please consult with a board certified dermatologist with injection experience.
