Swollen Lip 2 Days After Silicone Injections - Holland, NE

Thank you for sharing! What does your surgeon say about your swelling? Some doctors recommend cortisone injections to help with swelling after silicone augmentation. Please let us know how you're doing as you continue to heal!

Funny, I had lip augmentation, also, yesterday; but it was a "tweak" of an augmentation done 2 months ago, so it was a lot easier. My Surgeon uses Restylane, and it is said if you have a follow-up before the 1st injection completely dissipates, it will last longer. Since you had Silicone, I can't speak to how soon the swelling will go away. But at one-two weeks, you'll love them!!

Don't worry Sweetie; I did too, on Thursday, July 17th and they are perfect now, 6 days later. All I have is some bruising related to another skin cancer surgery, where he injected some cortisone to soften parts of a scar. Lips are perfect now, and I know they'll continue to go down more; I wish they'd stay the way they are, today!! But my content was 1 ml of Restylane.

Tess, note Angiemcc's comments below!

I don't know how to add a picture! Angie???

I didn't want a radical change; I didn't want anyone to notice, and now I've had 3 ml, total, injected, and a couple girlfriends have noticed something different but they can't put the finger on it. Mind you, I had a horrendous Skin Cancer Surgery that could have altered my appearance horribly, but my Surgeon is a Genius!! People come from out of State for him; and one celeb that I know of. I'm very pleased. My brilliant Surgeon just told me not to do anything for 6 hours, post-injection. You can ruin his "molding"! So, I sat still for 6 hours and boy, was THAT hard!!!

Tess, Thanks very much for sharing!!

Tess Tess; looks great!!

Silicone will not dissolve or disappear. It is permanent. Had some done 20 years ago and it is still there and fortunately did not migrate as some warn.
