How do I prepare for a Restylane Silk appointment?
Avoid alcohol, aspirin, and supplements like fish oil or vitamin E for several days before treatment to reduce bruising risk. Please ensure we are aware of any medical conditions or medications you are currently taking.

You may experience temporary swelling or firmness, but once settled (usually within a few days), your lips should feel soft and natural.
What affects the longevity of my results?
Factors include your metabolism, lifestyle (avoiding smoking and excessive sun exposure), the area treated, and the amount of filler. Frequent lip movement may cause the filler to break down more quickly.
