I got my lip filled with restalyn (plus the pain killer in the restalyn) 3 days ago. I used a full vial because everytime I put half in the past after the swelling went down I would see no difference. My lips looked too big right away, I was told it was swelling and that it would go down. Now it's 72 hours later and even tho the swelling is going down it's still too big.
