Can having restylane injections in the cheeks have an affect on the bowels?

Asked By:JMS1959

I had 2 injections in my cheeks, a month apart, and shortly after that I developed chronic diarrhea, had a colonoscopy because I feared something worse, they said I have what is called collagenous colitis. I do believe that the restylane caused this. Please advise.
