Restylane Safe After Radiation Treatment?

Inga in NYC
I had radiation treatments on my neck for base of tongue cancer.It subsequently damaged the skin on my chin, and caused many wrinkles. I would like to try Restylane treatments to reduce these wrinkles. My chin was in the outer area of the radiation field. Am I safe to have these treatments?
