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: Restylane lip swelling Thank you for your question. It is very common for the lips to look

Answer: Lip Swelling After Restylane Lip swelling for 36 to 48 hours after Restylane is usually expected. Use ice 10 minutes on and 20 minutes off alternating. You can sleep in a recliner or with your head elevated with pillows to help also. Some people take ibuprofen or Advil to decrease inflammatory response. Make sure this is OK with your other medications and take as directed on the back of the bottle. Hope this helps. Most people will have minimal swelling left after the 2 full days.

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.
