Restylane injected into my lips: Normal to have pain for 9 hours, quite excruciating also! (photo)

Hello and thank you for your question. "Excruciating pain" for 9 hours as you briefly described in your question is not normal. If you cannot reach out to your injector to be properly evaluated for complications you may be experiencing then please go to your closest hospital to be assessed.

Hello and thanks. Having excruciating pain after lip injection is not normal. Your injector or the supervising physician should have an emergency line and you need to call them!!!Online, we cannot tell what's going on, but this is not normal.Best wishes, Dr. ALDO

Thank you for your question. From
you photo it does not appear that you have any vascular compromise. However,
since everything is dame and this feels different, please contact your doctor
for a follow up for an evaluation and to discuss your concerns. Best of Luck!

If this is your photo it does not look like you have any vascular compromise but since all things were the same and this feels different, contact your doctor and discuss your issues

Sorry to hear of your pain 9 hours after Restylane lip filler.  From the single photo, I do not see any purple / blue / or black discoloration, but delayed vascular compromise is always possible.  It appears you have significant swelling (edema) which is causing the pain.  Please call your cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon immediately to have an evaluation and confirmation there is no compression on your blood vessel.  He or she should consider a diuretic if only edema is noted. We are "on call" 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Best of luck,Suneel Chilukuri, M.D.Houston, Texas
