I had Restylane injected into my upper lip yesterday. The swelling was quite severe, as my mouth looked like a duck's beak! This morning, it seems much worse! I can hardly talk or move my mouth, since it's very stiff. Is this normal? What can I do do make the swelling subside? I'm freaking out, I look horrible!

Answer: Post lip swelling It is not uncommon for significant swelling post lip injection. They are very vascular structures which lends to inflammation. It is important to see your surgeon to make sure that there is no infection. It is rare but it must be ruled out.Some things that decrease swelling are using cannulas for the procedure, ice and head of bed elevation.Hope this helps.Best of luck,DrC
