Restylane Kysse on the 30th of October. Juvederm volift 5 months ago. Since the Restylane, my lips have become raw, sore and exposed and have developed a blistering. I went back to see the provider several times who said they were fine. I am very concerned that I am loosing a lot of tissue daily from my lip skin. My lip skin fees exposed, like even touching them might cause an abrasion. It is like the layers of my skin are peeling off bit by bit. I worried about scarring. erythema multiform?

Answer: Dermal filler reaction To begin with, Restylane Kysse is not FDA approved for use in the United States. This means the product was brought in from another country, where it was stored and handled who knows how, and transported in who knows what conditions. You have already reached out to your injector. You must now contact Galderma- they have clinical staff (nurse, medical director, etc...) whose job it is to evaluate adverse reactions. They will be your best source of advice. Try taking an antihistamine such as Benadryl if you have taken it before without a problem. Keep a healing balm on the lip, not Vaseline but Aquaphor would be ok. Restylane is prepared from a fermentation process using a bacteria Streptococcus equi. This particular strain was chosen because it produces copious amounts of hyaluronic acid. (There is no bacteria in the product itself) It is then cross linked using a small amount of BDDE (butanediol diglycidyl ester). The rare allergic reaction seen with Restylane may be due to a tiny remnant of BDDE which might be left over. Keep us posted! Best, Lisa Vuich, MD

Answer: Lips and blistering Sometimes patients get outbreaks of herpes on their lips. You might want to discuss this with your injector he may want to put you on an antiviral med.
