Spontaneous swelling of lip 9 months after Restylane injections?

Thanks for this question. I'm not sure if your recent illness and the Restylane injection 9 months ago are related. There is always a chance that the filler could have been affected by your illness if you got sick enough to have bacteria floating through your blood vessels. The best way to find out and help you is for you to see a qualified physician for a diagnosis and treatment plan. Best,Dr. ALDO :)

Thank you for your question. It is unlikely that your recent illness and your Restylane injections 9 months ago are related. However, I recommend seeing your treating physician for evaluation and to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!

Lips are prone to becoming swollen after injection with Restylane.  However, usually this swelling goes away within about a week after the injection.  Since your injection was 9 months ago, I think it is highly unlikely that the Restylane is causing your swelling.

At 9 months, it is unlikely that the swelling is related to the filler, but you would have to be seen in person.

It is unlikely that the swelling is related to the injections. More likely is that you have some swelling due to the illness and if not gone in a few days consult your primary care doctor
