Posted under Restylane Silk q&a

Very swollen in the lips 24 hrs. after Restylane Silk injection, how can I quickly reduce swelling?

JustBrowsing13
24 hours later, I have the classic "Duck" Lips. It is the most extreme that I have been post restylane. Doctor has a "heavy hand" when she applies, and I am 68 years old with sensitive skin. I am applying ice with diligence, and tried to sleep upright (but not sucessfully). Some doctors suggest prednisolone. Curious about the dosage that is prescribed for this drug, and I assume that it is to reduced swelling more quickly.
