Answer: Restylane Silk - Swelling I appreciate your question.Yes it is common to have swelling post injection for several days. It can take up to 2-4 weeks for swelling to resolve in some. If you feel things have changed or are worsening, best to follow up with injecting MD to discuss treatment options.The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.Best of luck!Dr. Schwartz

Answer: Swelling after Restylane Silk Thank you for sharing your photo and concerns. I would definitely wait this out for a week or two more and then return to your injector for follow-up. Restylane Silk does attract more water due to the finer particle size. Thus it does require a more nuanced approach to injections.

Answer: Lip Swelling After Fillers Such as Juvederm or Restylane Silk -- Reverse With Hyaluronidase It is common to get swelling after fillers into the lips. It is not normal to have irregularities or severe swelling. If you are unhappy you should speak to your physician and have the area injected with hyaluronidase, an enzyme that reverses the hyaluronic acid filler. For the next injections, consider cannula injection, this technique will limit the pain, swelling or bruising after the filler placement. It often takes up to two weeks for swelling to subside on its own. Find an expert in filler injections for your future treatments. Best, Dr. Emer.
