Is it safe to get Restylane while breast feeding?

Nobody can give you a straight answer on this because I doubt any studies have been done on Restylane and breast feeding.  You might call the company and ask them.  

Personally, I would not recommend doing this becasue of the concern of micro-transmission of foreign material in the milk.  Not that this would ever happen, but you wouldn't want to worry.
