Will Restylane Silk affect the results of an MRI of the brain?

Your MRI image results should not be affected whatsoever by Restylane Silk, or any other brands of fillers. Best of luck with your MRI

No Restylane Silk and other facial fillers will not effect the results of a brain MRI, so you can proceed at will. 

Thank you for your question. Fillers like Restylane Silk will have no effect on an MRI of your brain. I wouldn't worry. Hope all is well. Best of Luck!

Thank you for your question.  I would not worry about having fillers in the face affect your brain mri.

You will have no problems with an MRI after restylane silk or with any filler for that matter. MRI is contra-indicated if you have metal in your body.

you can see the fillers on MRI and they are very distinct, they will not interfere unless they are directly in the treatment area or area of concern and even then they have very unique look.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Depending upon the sequence used and timing the radiologist might see more fluid in your lips but this likely will not be noted on the scan and definitely will not interfere with the evaluation of your brain. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

I appreciate your question.

Restylane and presumably other hyaluronic acid based fillers can be seen on both CT and MRI scans, and also on high resolution ultrasound.  These products do not interfere in any way with the scans, and are not affected by the scans.



The best way to assess and give
true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified
plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.

Best of luck!

No. Fillers will not affect your brain MRI, but it is an insightful question and it made me stop and think for a while. You're obviously a smart person who thinks a lot about her health care and well-being. While the answer is simple question was very thought-provoking.

There should be no interaction at all! Do the Restylane silk and don't worry about it. Good luck with the MRI!
