Is it safe to get Restylane while breast feeding?

Logic seems to suggest that even if miniscule amounts of restylane were to reach the breast milk, it would be unlikely to harm the breast-feeding baby.  There are no studies to help guide this decision, and I doubt that a study will ever be conducted to address this question.  Receive restylane injections at your own risk while breast feeding (albeit, probably a very small one).

Good luck.
