There are very little to no risks of injecting Restylane. If you have a serious condition, check with your specialist prior to making any decisions. But, Restylane is very superficial and there should be no link between the two. Good Luck!

Restylane and your heart

There are no reported cardiovascular concerns in injecting restylane or juvederm, both hyaluronic acids that occur naturally in your skin. Other than a risk of a bruise or a bit of temporary swelling, serious risks of using the hyaluronic acids are rare.

Safety of Restylane with heart problems

Restylane is made of hyaluronic acid, a natural component of the skin that progressively decreases with age. It is quite safe and is fine to use in patients with heart problems. Hyaluronic acid is the fluid matrix that provides stabilization to the intercellular spaces that contain collagen and elastic fibers. It is one of the normal components of the skin so it is extremely safe to use and allergic reactions are rare.
