Could Restylane Defyne cause an autoimmune problem?
RealSelf actual patient comment:
I don’t seem right. I am 53. I had Restylane defyne injected into nasolabial folds & marionette lines 3 weeks ago. No lip injections. My lips became puffy, painful, dry, pink and white after. I have developed a lot of floaters in my eyes & hot feelings in my ears and back. I had bruising after the procedure & a puffy line under my upper lip. I have hypothyroidism and possibly rheumatoid arthritis. Am I having an autoimmune response to the product and if so what do I do. It is making me really nervous.
A.Sorry that you are having this complication from your recent injections. I would recommend returning to your injecting physician for evaluation. I have not heard of any autoimmune reactions to Restylane Defyne. Make sure that the injections in your NLFs is not compromising the blood flow to the affected areas. Good luck and be well.
