Answer: Is Swelling on One Side of the Lip Normal After Restylane?
This likely is an issue with pigmentation and would best benefit seeing a dermatologist, he/she can prescribe you proper products to use to help lighten the area.
We treat under eye hollows often and most patients need one 1 syringe, however, there are those patients that need more. In some cases patients only need 1/2 a syringe but I would say that 1 syringe is most common at our practice.
Very smart question. Hyaluronidase starts to work immediately and continues to work for 48-72 hrs. At 72 hours the effect is usually maximal and only marginal changes should take place thereafter. Theoretically you could reinject filler at that time however I would suggest waiting 10 to 14 days...
