Swelling is a common side effect of lip injections and can last approx. 2 weeks. You are doing the right thing by applying cold compresses, 10 mins several times a day. Sleep with your head slightly elevated. If you have further concerns visit your injector to be assessed. All the best,

Restylane is a great facial injection but one of the side effects is that it can give you swelling for a few days up until two weeks after the injections.  I would ice the area and massage any area that seems swollen.

Swelling is an expected side effect that can last a few days after any filler  injection. Lips tend to swell more than cheeks.  If bruising occurs swelling can last up to a week. Be patient. Ice the areas as often as possible.  Taking arnica may also speed up resolution of bruising and swelling.

It is normal to have some swelling , particularly after multiple injections.  Iing is helpful as you are doing. Ask your injector for any other tips on how to minmiize swelling. In our practice we use Arnika forte to help with swelling.

It is normal to experience swelling post dermal filler. It typically sets in the evening of the treatment or the next day, and generally lasts a week to 10 days.
