I have had Restylane injections in my lips yesterday, it is still very much swollen and bruised. How long will this last?
I look terrible, and am very worried about going out in public. It has been almost 24hrs since the treatment and I see no reduction in swelling. Is there a way to speed up the reduction of swelling?

Answer: Restylane Swelling and Bruising Bruising and swelling of the lip are common side effects after Restylane. The bruising should go away after 3-5 days with proper care, but at times it can last 7-10 days. In the meantime, I recommend using cold compress during the day to help reduce swelling.

Answer: Side Effects - Swelling To some degree most patients will swell after the procedure. Just the trauma of canula or needle in a vascular muscular location will cause the swelling effect. Bruising is also not an uncommon result. We usually recommend some cold compression to the lips and Arnica pills seem to help. In some patients with severe swelling, IM or oral steroid also helps. But most importantly, it’s time and individual variances that affect the length of swelling. Remember in general swelling and bruising is temporary.
