Typically, lip injections are fast and easy. Some patients feel minor discomfort and or a slight pinch, but pain is usually brief and manageable. Everyone's body is different, of course, and some people may experience more pain than others. The amount of filler injected can also affect how much pain you experience.
After your treatment, you may have some swelling, redness, bruising, tenderness and pain, which are most often mild in severity and normally last fewer than 7 days in your nasolabial folds and fewer than 14 days in your lips.
After treatment, you might have some 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.
The injection itself feels kind of like a splinter, but if it's done properly, the pain should go away right away. The lips may swell a little for a few hours after the procedure. It can feel a bit unsettling, but it should never be painful.
Restylane is slightly stiff and feels about as relaxing as getting a rock massaged into your cheekbone.
Will Results Improve Over Time? Absolutely! This injectable gives you improved results over time, unlike many other similar treatments. The active ingredient in Restylane works with the natural regenerative properties of your body, extending the results you'll see after treatment over the course of several weeks.
Answer: Pain
Certain areas of the face are more sensitive to filler treatment. Juvederm products are available with lidocaine mixed in to make the treatment more comfortable. The lips tend to be the most sensitive. In general patients find the administration tolerable and the results are worth it.
However, for fillers, more fluid is usually injected under the skin's surface. For this reason, fillers come with Lidocaine which helps numb the injection site. Also, we can use a topical numbing cream and/or ice to further reduce the likelihood of pain and swelling.
There is some discomfort associated with both procedures
Fillers cause more discomfort than Botox injections, and there is a slight risk of swelling and bruising after the procedure. However, both procedures are relatively safe.
Make sure to sleep on your back with your head elevated using 2 pillows for 3 nights-this will ensure that the newly injected filler stays in place. Another option would be to use a wrap around neck pillow to stabilize your head.
The Restylane family of products should not be used by people who: Are pregnant, breastfeeding, or under 22 years of age. Have recently used drugs that thin the blood or prevent clotting. Have had previous bad allergies, particularly to microorganisms known as gram-positive bacteria.
Like many other dermal fillers, it will take at least one to three days for Restylane Lyft to settle into the skin. During that time, you will need to follow specific instructions so you don't disturb the filler.
Experiences vary—for some people, there is a little bit of pain; for others, it's just a quick pinch. “Restylane, like other dermal fillers, is relatively painless, but I always give my patients numbing cream to apply one hour before their injections, to minimize any discomfort,” says Dr.
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.
While numbing cream is not necessary for filler treatments, we always speak to your patients to find the best way to make them more comfortable and ensure their treatments are pain-free.
When a patient is injected with the Restylane or Juvederm, which also contains lidocaine, the area of the face being injected becomes numb.
After your dermal filler treatment, you should remain in an upright position for 3-4 hours and avoid rubbing or applying any pressure on the treated area. This will prevent the filler from migrating to other areas. The best sleeping positions following treatment limit facial movement and stress on the face.
Immediately after the treatment, there may be a slight redness, swelling, tenderness, a faint bubble‑like appearance and an itching sensation in the treated area. These side effects are a normal result of the injection and will generally disappear gradually over a period of 7–14 days.
You might feel a little pressure during the application process, as if someone is pressing on you with their finger. Afterward, your skin may feel tighter or fuller than it did before. That sensation is because the fillers are stretching your skin back into its previous position before volume loss or aging happened.
Don't wax, tweeze, bleach, or use hair removal products on the treatment area for at least two days before the treatment. Stop taking supplements one week prior. Your provider can give you a list to avoid, which might include St John's Wort, vitamin E, ginseng, Gingko Biloba, Primrose oil, and garlic.
Answer: Restylane for Lip Augmentation
Typically 1 syringe is all that is needed to achieve a patient's desired look. If you are looking for a larger look than you may require 2 syringes. I do not like to inject more than 1 syringe at time as to not over inject.
