Is this an allergic reaction to 1 vial of Restalyn? I had put in my lips & mouth corners yesterday. Will prednisone help?(photo)

It is common to get swelling after fillers into the lips. It is not normal to have irregularities or severe swelling. If you are unhappy you should speak to your physician and have the area injected with hyaluronidase, an enzyme that reverses the hyaluronic acid filler. For the next injections, consider Restylane Silk with cannula injection, this technique will limit the pain, swelling or bruising after the filler placement. It often takes up to two weeks for swelling to subside on its own. Find an expert in filler injections for your future treatments. Best, Dr. Emer.

Yes, Prednisone and cold compresses might help with your swelling, but the definitive treatment is injection with hyaluronidase in order to dissolve the Restylane. Since you had more success with Juvederm in the past, you probably should use it again instead of Restylane.

See your doctor as soon as possible for evaluation. From the photos, it may be a viral outbreak (cold sore) which is typically a rare complication seen with laser treatment. A physical exam is important at this time. Good luck.
