Answer: What to expect after Restylane Thanks for your question. We always expect swelling after filler injections, but there are a few variables which impact how much swelling you have:1. Cannula vs needle for injection: cannulas tend to minimize swelling and reduce risk of bruising as well.2. Product choice: Restylane silk tends to swell more than other products (including regular regular Restylane)3. volume of injections: more volume injected will need to more prominent swelling4. Personal history: some people will consistently swell more than others.Here are some things you can do to minimize swelling, bruising and recovery:1. Take Arnica montana before and after your injection2. Ice the treated area 10' every hour while awake 3. Ask your surgeon about a steroids by mouth if you have a history of severe swelling4. Eat some foods high in Vitamin K for a few days before your treatment5. Avoid any blood thinners like aspirin, BC powders, etc for 10 days before your treatment.Best wishes! MKB

Answer: Swelling after Restylane Swelling always occurs with lip injection and usually subsides after a few days. Ice helps and some light massage. 2 syringes is a lot in the upper lip so if the swelling is there after a week check with your doctor
