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: Bruising & Swelling with Restylane - Prevention and Intervention Using cosmetic dermal fillers in the mouth area can lead to a very pleasing outcome. However, bruising is not uncommon. We believe in educating patients prior to their treatments on things they can do, or not do, to help minimize or avoid bruising. Not only can bruising in the mouth be a problem, but swelling as well. Check with your physician or the link below to find helpful hints to prepare you for an injection treatment. If the bruising/swelling already occurred, below are some suggestions:

Answer: Bruising with filler injections Thank you for your question! Swelling and bruising after injections is normal. Swelling can last for a week or so but typically goes down significantly after a couple of days. Bruising can last for a week or so but it depends on the patient. We advise our patients to stay away from ibuprofen as it can make bruising worse. Arnica gel or tablets can also help. If you know that you bruise easily, you can start taking the Arnica tablets a couple of days prior to the injection. We wish you the best!

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.
