Is It Safe to Get Restylane While Breast Feeding?

Dear Roccoreno
Breast feeding should not be a contra indication to Restylane injections as the molecules don't travel in your body and remain fixed at site of injection. At the same time, studies have not and probably will not be conducted to test out safety. In short, nobody knows if there is a true risk. I would tell my patients there is no contra indication but it has not been studied.
Good luck!

Hi Roccoreno,
It should be safe to receive Restylane injections while breast feeding, just avoid the currently popular area that exotic dancers request to have injected to increase their "tips", the nipples. What is the worst thing that will happen; your child will have slightly more pouty lips?
All kidding aside, I would inject my breast feeding wife without any worries, but in this wonderful litigious world of ours, you will be very hard pressed to find a legitimate physician willing to take the chance of injecting you.
You would either have to sign a very informed consent prior to the injections, or wait until you finish breast feeding.
Good luck and be well.
Dr. P
