What Are These Tiny Blisters on my Lip After Augmentation?

Suzie QJul 18, 2010
I had restylane injected in my top lip on Wednesday. I bruised on both sides of my lip where there were several injections made. Tonight I have a cluster of tiny little blisters on my left side that is itchy and the area is beginning to swell up under the blisters. Is this a cold sore forming? Should I try to treat it with Abreva or should I wait to see what it looks like tomorrow? I have a cold sore that comes out on the other side of my bottom lip (right) when I get too much sun. Thank you

Hi. The Restylane did not cause your symptoms.  Did you have infraorbital nerve blocks for anesthesia before the Restylane?  The only possible connection is that the nerve block needle caused a little nerve damage which is causing facial pain.
