Is Restylane safe? Restylane has BDDE in it. On the FDA website it says it can increase risk of cancer

There is no reason restylane wouldn't be safe, it has been used for many years with little complications at all.  BDDE does not cause cancer.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Restylane silk is a great new product indicated for the perioral rhytides and lip area only but swelling in this area should be expected. It is post op edema and will resolve over few days typically. Not indicated for the nasolablial folds. Would recommend you discuss your case and concerns regarding cancer risk with your board certified dermatologist.
