I got restylane injections in my lips yesterday and the doctor told me the swelling would only be noticeable to me and that I could go to work. That is definitely not the case. When can I expect this to subside? I'm freaking out.

Answer: Severe swelling from Restylane lip injections is a problem I would definitely discuss this with your doctor. This might be angioedema, which would require steroids to subdue. You didn't say how much and if this was Silk. If 2 syringes were used and this is Silk, this still might be within the realm of exected swelling. In any case, steroids should be given.

Answer: Restylane and lip swelling From your photos I can see a considerable lip swelling. I would return immediately to your treating physician for evaluation. How many cc's were injected? You may need to be injected with Vitrase to dissolve the Restylane.
