Hi, I had restylyn 1ml lip fillers yesterday at 16.00. My lips were OK when I left the surgeons office but a few hours later have severely swollen. I'm taking arnica and eating pineapple prior and after the procedure. Yesterday I started taking benadryl and predinisolone prescribed by the doctor last year for a sun allergy 5mg . should I continue taking them as I heard steroids retain water? I have noticed a slight improvement. Please help I have work Tuesday! Thank you

Answer: Swelling after Restylane to the lips This is a significant amount of swelling and probably more than you anticipated, but it will improve very quickly. You should apply cold compresses for 10 minutes at least three times a day, and drink cold beverages. The prednisolone is a prescription medication with potentially serious side effects and it sounds as though it was given to you for a different problem. You should discuss this with your physician before taking any more.Swelling is not a given after filler injections and injecting smaller amounts and adding more later if needed can prevent most of it. It also helps a little to start the icing treatments immediately arter the injections.Try to have a good weekend knowing this will get better very quickly.

Answer: Restylane and swelling Restylane is a great filler for the nasolabial and lips. However, there is often some swelling that can last a few days after the procedure. I would recommend you applying some ice compresses to your lips. You should be able to return to work.
