Could I Still Have a Restylane Injection 4 Weeks into Pregnancy?
I would have to answer this question as if it were my own family, and I would have to say no on this one. The risk to benefit ratio is not known for this procedure during pregnancy.

Restylane During Pregnancy
There are no studies examining the safety and effects of Restylane injected during pregnancy. I typically advise all my female patients to discontinue their Restylane and dermal filler procedures while they are pregnant. These elective procedures can be restarted after pregnancy.

Restylane and pregnancy
You should wait until after your pregnancy to have further Restylane injections. You may retain more water during pregnancy making your filler plump up more and you may not even need the additional filler.

Restylane during pregnancy?
There have never been any studies about the safety of Restylane it any fillers during pregnancy so one cannot state with any degree of confidence that it's safe. However common sense would suggest that it's better to defer until you have delivered.

Restylane during pregnancy?
I do not recommend an elective procedures during pregnancy. This has not been studied. Additionally, local anesthesia includes epinephrine and this should not be used in a pregnant woman. With weight gain in pregnancy, your creases may be camouflaged and you may not need treatment until after you have lost the baby weight.

Restylane injections during pregnancy
There are no studies showing the safety of Restylane injections during pregnancy and it is not not likely they will ever be done. For numerous reasons, common sense dictates that all elective procedures such as filler injections and neurotoxin injections be postponed until after your pregnancy has ended.

Fillers during pregnancy
The answer to your question is No. It is not safe to have any kind of filler done during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. There have not been any human studies to determine the safety of fillers on a fetus during pregnancy, therefore the risk is not worth the benefit especially during the first trimester in which deveolpment is most critical.

Agree with the other physicians - it's best to delay soft tissue filler such as Restylane till after pregnancy.

Pregnancy and Restylane
It is not advisable to have Restylane or any other dermal filler injections during pregnancy, as there aren't studies determining whether or not they are safe.

Pregnancy & Restylane
There is not any data to tell us whether or not Restylane may be safe for the growing baby during pregnancy. In general, a growing fetus is most sensitive to chemicals and medications during the first 12 weeks of gestation, so I would certainly recommend against any cosmetic injections during this portion of your pregnancy. Furthermore, I think you'll find most cosmetic specialists will not recommend any filler or botulinum toxin injections while pregnant. If you desire,...

Don't take a chance, no fillers or Botox during pregnancy
Dermal fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm as well as Neurotoxins (Botox and Dysport) are considered schedule D by the FDA. That means specific harm hasn't been established to a fetus during pregnancy but no study has been performed to document full safety either. SO, for any pregnant patients, why take a chance? No fillers or Botox until after the pregnancy and breast feeding are over.
On the other hand, if you found out after a treatment with either filler or Botox that you were...

HELLO
In our practice we do not do procedure on patients that are breast feeding or pregnant. There is no specific medical reason why you shouldn’t, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. I'll tell you as I would tell my family members just wait after pregnancy and you should not allow anyone touch you while pregnant.

A few weeks into pregnancy - ok for Restylane?
If you were my daughter I would advise you against this. While there is no proof that fillers or Botox have any affect on a developing fetus, we don't test this. It's best to just enjoy your pregnancy and get fillers again after your pregnancy and breast feeding.

Your developing baby is most sensitive early in pregnancy.
While we believe that Restylane is completely safe, there are no studies proving this and there never will be. For this reason, I would not treat you until after your pregnancy is complete and your are no longer breast feeding your baby. That will be the opinion of almost every practitioner I can think of. It is simply not worth taking any risks in this regard. If you told me you discovered after you had service that you were pregnant, I would advise you to not worry...
