I have Restylane injected into my lips 4 days ago, it's a treatment I've had 3 times previously but had Juvederm. My lips are still very tender to touch and look very swollen, is this normal? They also feel extremely hard and bumpy, but I can't tell if this is filler or swelling. The bottom lip also still feels a little numb?

Answer: Swelling post-injection in the lips Swelling from lip injections can take around 2 weeks to fully resolve. Even if you had minimal swelling the last time you had your injections, you may have a different response the next time. Additionally, you noted you had a different type of filler injected this treatment session. You didn't specify whether it was Restylane or Restylane Silk. Certainly injectable filler products, like Restylane Silk, attract more water to the injected area than others, which can cause more swelling. Give yourself 2 weeks to evaluate the final results. If you still have concerns at that time, I would schedule an appointment with your provider to discuss your options. Good luck!

Answer: Lip injection It is not unusual for there to be swelling and numb feeling 4 days after lip injection but it looks like you have had a significant amount injected. give it a couple of weeks to calm down and see if it is as you like it and if not contact your doctor
