Additionally, for patients receiving Restylane dermatology treatment in their lips, post-injection swelling is likely to occur. As hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body, there is minimal risk of an allergic reaction or the risk of the body rejecting Restylane gel.
Although dermal fillers are generally thought to be safe, all foreign materials have potential ability to cause adverse reactions. HA is composed of polysaccharides and has same structure in all species; therefore, the risks of an implant rejection or an immune response are low.
Signs of an allergic reaction, like rash; hives; itching; red, swollen, blistered, or peeling skin with or without fever; wheezing; tightness in the chest or throat; trouble breathing, swallowing, or talking; unusual hoarseness; or swelling of the mouth, face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Filler complications such as necrosis, infection, filler migration, lumps and unnatural results are all possible. These associated risks can be minimized or avoided if done by a professional injector who has a great understanding of facial anatomy and who is able to correct technique with the safest products.
You will see the final results of your treatment about four to six weeks after your treatment, which is about the time it takes for your body to kickstart collagen production to restore facial volume. This is also because it takes about two weeks for this dermal filler to settle into the hollows of your skin.
Restylane injections can have lumps or bumps that show up after the treatment, but they disappear within a couple of weeks. If the bumps do not resolve themselves within one month, your provider can use hyaluronidase to dissolve it.
We report 2 patients with allergic reactions to Restylane. Although classified as inert, these HA fillers are clearly able to stimulate both clinically evident granulomatous (delayed) and acute reactions. Patients have thus far not been warned that such reactions may occur.
After your treatment, you may experience side effects, such as swelling, redness, pain, bruising, headache, tenderness, lump formation, itching at the injection site and impaired hand function. These are typically mild in severity and normally last less than 7 days in nasolabial folds and less than 14-18 days in lips.
If you stop getting Restylane, after a year, the wrinkles will come back but they may never be as bad as they were before you started treatment since all fillers also cause your body to make new collagen.

These include injection site redness, swelling, or bruising. However, disastrous outcomes can occur, including necrosis, vision loss, and cerebrovascular accidents. In cases of HA filler related complications, certain treatments can be attempted, such as hyaluronidase, massage, and hyperbaric oxygen.
Over time, as facial movement increases in areas like the lips or cheeks, it causes the filler to break down and dissolve at a quicker rate. This makes the filler disappear faster in more active areas of the face.
The most serious risk associated with dermal fillers is accidental injection into a blood vessel. Filler that enters a blood vessel can cause skin necrosis (death of tissue), stroke, or blindness.
Dermal fillers cause swelling and bruising because the injection process causes minor trauma to the area. Swelling is just the body's natural response to this trauma as the area heals. It is normal to experience some swelling after dermal fillers, but the amount can vary from person to person.
It is possible for the infraorbitial nerve to be injured during Restylane injections. This is most likely to occur with needle injections. Unfortunately, there is not much that can be done to heal the nerve, just time. Permanent pain and numbness is rare but possible.
Answer: Skin necrosis is rare after injection of filler
Signs of skin necrosis include changes in skin color (a blue, dusky, or dark hue in that area), pain, and “breakdown” of the skin.
Generally, any lumps or bumps that appear after fillers will disappear on their own within one to two weeks. Give the treatment a couple of weeks to improve, applying ice regularly.
Experiencing lumps in lips after injectable filler is extremely common—and lumps most often resolve naturally with time. Gentle lip massage 5-7 days after the treatment can help smooth any lumps and bumps in the lips.
Lumpiness is very common to feel in your skin in the days after injection of dermal filler into the face, including the upper lip body and the cheeks and the chin area and along wrinkles and folds when injected to lift these. It will usually resolve within a couple of weeks.
The filler can take several weeks to soften and settle into your skin. This means that patients won't see the ultimate results of their treatment immediately. Although individual results will vary, many people achieve the full effect within two weeks after receiving their injections.
Migration of Restylane: Restylane may migrate from its original injection site and produce visible fullness in adjacent tissue or other unintended effects.
