Safe to Use Restylane Following Breast Cancer?

There is no evidence that Restylane is not safe in someone who has had breast cancer. There is no immune disorder seen-to-date as a result of Restylane or Juvederm injections. In fact, continual treatment of ones appearance during the post treatment phase can help a cancer patient feel better about themselves. By doing something for oneself, the person is validating their optimistic attitude about their future existence which can help the immune system continue to fend off the cancer. Positive attitude helps this innate defense mechanism whereas stress and negativism probably interferes with the immune system's full abilitiy to fight the growth of the cancer.

There is no reason to believe that there will be an issue.  Many women who are being treated for breast cancer have elected to have cosmetic services to give themselves an emotional boost and the minimally invasive services like Restylane, Perlane, and BOTOX are perfect for this.

I do not see a contra-indication for the use of restylane following breast cancer and subsequent treatment with tamoxifen. Concerns with concurrent use of immunosuppressants have been raised in the past.
