I got restylane lips yesterday,I swelled A LOT straight after,later I started throwing up,have had a headache since.The injector said I got stomach flu & it was not related.But my lips are so pale & have white spots.Theres no pain & swelling has gone down,but I'm nervous something is wrong.My lip line on upper lip has vanished & is uneven & turns white when I touch it.Can you please explain what would happen if I got necrosis & if I should be worried,how long before I am safe from complications?
Over 3.5 years ago I had tear trough filler (I think was both juvederm and restylane). Not long after I had some issues with it being a bit lumpy especially on the right side. It lasted around 6 month or so however, ever since then, I've always felt that there was still some remaining on my right side, as occasionally when I get sick/teary my tear trough on my right side swells up and aches/stings a bit. Also in recent months I've noticed a pronounced indentation when I smile.
How long after application can restylane be removed by a method other than using hyaluronadaise? My body thinks its toxic and I have been very ill after it was administered 2 weeks ago. I have read on real self that one MD has removed it by using a large bore needle and squeezing it out. Does it's composition alter in time so that it is impossible to remove this way? also could it be removed by using a fine needle? I would be grateful for your help.
Had my lips and n/l injected with restylane 9 mos ago. Very happy with the results to lips since (n/l not so much but that's another story). Results in lips still present after all this time -- though less so when 1st injected. This am after being very sick for a few days w unexplained stomach bug, I woke up to find upper lip hugely swollen. I've never experienced anything like this before!! Looks like initial swelling after my first injections 9 mos ago! Could this be related to resty?!
