Yesterday i had 1 ml of Restylane and my lips are looking uneven and stiff. Will this resolve itself? (photos)

Thank you for your question! Lip injections have some "downtime" associated with them and stiffness, bruising, and "uneven" swelling is a part of that process. Try not to panic, and watch the filler as it settles over the next two weeks. If for any reason you have any uneven areas that do not subside, follow up with your injector as you can have additional product added, or the original product reversed. If you are not happy with your injector, consider visiting with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon's office for best practices in safety and efficacy, as well as ideal outcomes. I hope this is helpful to you!Be well,Dr. Todd Hobgood, MD

Hi there, Unfortunately, your doctor is correct. It is too soon to tell exactly what is going on with your lips as they are too swollen after the filler. I would recommend that you wait a full two weeks before you make an assessment about your lips, as it may take that long for them to settle down. You may intermittently ice them, but unless you notice some strange color appearing on your lips (like white or blue), try your best to be patient.    Good luck,Dr. Downie
