Some swelling is normal and should reduce after one week.

Swelling most likely will last up to 3 days, in some cases shorter. Bruising, on the other hand, can last up to 5 days. However, if you put warm compresses on for 20 minutes at a time, that will assist in alleviating the bruising. Alternate the warm compress (for bruising) and cold (for swelling), and you should be in good shape.

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!
