Could Restylane Have Caused an Osteoma on my Skull?

March 26, 2009
Asked By:nise in malden.massachusetts

I had Restylane injected two times over the last five years. After the last injection into my marionette lines, I developed numbness and head pain in my forehead and back of my head. I returned to the M.D. and she stated it had nothing to do with the Restylane. My PCP (Primary Care Physician) did a CT scan and I have an osteoma of my skull. Is there any way this could be related to the injections in your opinion? I am freaking myself out about this. Thank you.
