I'd follow your doctor's advice, the one who is performing surgery on your nose. Your lips will swell and you might have some bruising, as well as lingering ***** marks, which last about a week. You have to have realistic expectations about Restylane. Initially, due to the swelling, the effect is more pronounced and does subside, to a more "normal" state. 1cc, which can cost about $500 primarily defines the lip line and plumps the lips up some. 2cc.s is ideal, though costly. Restylane only lasts about 4 months, not the 6+ months that you hear about. A maintenance program is best, where you have touch ups about every 3-4 months. Also, alot depends on what you are trying to achieve with injectables. As far as doing your lips, prior to your other surgery, I'd say, just be prepared to have a sore nose and sore lips, at the same time. I've also learned that a little Botox, above the upper lip, combines well, with the Restylane. I was worried the Botox would make my lip droop, but, such a small amount is used, that it primarily smooths out any fine lines, complimenting what the Restylane does, in filling out any lines.
