Restylane Silk is a new filler now available for the lips and lip lines, and it is by far the best lip filler on the market. It contains very fine particles of hyaluronic acid which create a very smooth, soft and elegant result. It is really for defining the lip and creating your most natural and beautiful lips. Typically one syringe is all that is needed for most patients. As usual, I will numb the area prior to injection for maximal comfort. Results are immediate, and 1-2 days of mild swelling may occur. It is best to leave the area alone without massage or ice, as this can increase the temporary swelling effect.
As with other lip fillers, expect to maintain results with twice-a-year injections. It is also an excellent filler for lines over the lips, gently softening lines without adding bulk or volume.*
I love this product, and I am sure you will too.
