Yes, you can definitely have swelling after Restylane injections, especially in very sensitive areas like the lips. The swelling can last up to a week (especially for lips) and is improved with the use of ice packs.

Yes, you can have swelling for 3 days from Restylane. You can also have bruising for a few days up to 10 days from Restylane.

I had a filler six months back, and as the results fade away I would like to get another filler treatment. However, I have developed a small lump under the skin in my laugh line which is not visible, but I can feel it when I press the area. Can I have more filler with the lump still there, or does that need to be addressed first?

I had Restylane injected into the perpendicular lines above my upper lip last week. When the swelling went down, the areas that were injected looked exactly like it did before the treatment. Could the filler be inert or defective? I feel like it is an "Emperor's New Clothes" story!
