Spontaneous swelling of lip 9 months after Restylane injections?

December 7, 2016
Asked By:citrusgreen in New York, NY

Had my lips and n/l injected with restylane 9 mos ago. Very happy with the results to lips since (n/l not so much but that's another story). Results in lips still present after all this time -- though less so when 1st injected. This am after being very sick for a few days w unexplained stomach bug, I woke up to find upper lip hugely swollen. I've never experienced anything like this before!! Looks like initial swelling after my first injections 9 mos ago! Could this be related to resty?!
