Cortisone Enough to Help with Silicone Injections Swelling?

Miss.Diamond
Hello, I am from Germany and I had Silicone injections (Microdroplet) done by a plastic surgeon about 3 1/2 month ago. I had no problems with the silicone in my lips (done over two years ago). The results are nice but one side of my face is still a little bit swollen. My doctor recommended Prednison (cortisone) 15 mg for about 3-4 weeks because he thinks that there is still a little inflammation present. Might this course of cortisone be enough to get rid of the prolonged swelling? Thanks.
