I got restylane injections in my nose below between my eyes and upper bridge (look at pictures) a few hours ago and now it is hard and very swollen, is this normal? Did my ps inject too much? Or is it just swollen? Please help! Also, I got my lips injected as well at the same time and my left upper lip is swollen and in pain.

Answer: Resty in the nose As indicated below, Restylane is hydrophilic (absorbs water) and produces an overfull appearance at first but if there is pain or the area is very tender, contact your doctor to ensure you are not having a problem with an occluded vessel or starting to develop an infection. The aesthetic result can be modified once the product settles in, after a few weeks, by dissolving it, adding more product etc and I usually advise my patients to wait at least 3 weeks for minor touch ups to allow for resolution of soft tissue swelling so we can refine the result. If you are still concenred about the result, seek out a board certified injection specialist for consultation and possible refinement, if needed.Best of luck!

Answer: Restylane in the nose It is not unusual to have swelling post restylane treatment especially to the nose. Allow seven to 10 days for the swelling to go down before requesting to see the injector. The injector should not adjust the area until the swelling is gone.
