According to the FDA advisory committee, people with cosmetic facial fillers could experience inflammation and swelling after receiving the Modern Vaccine.
“Your immune system that causes inflammation increases when you get a vaccine, that’s how it should work,” said Dr. Shirley Chi, who noted that side effects were easily treated. “So it makes sense that you see an immune response in certain areas where they see some substance that is not a natural substance in your body.”
He noted that side effects should not stop people from getting the vaccine.
“In these cases, all patients had swelling and inflammation in the area where the filling was administered … A couple of patients had cheek filling six months before the vaccine and one patient had lip filling two days later were treated with steroids and antihistamines and all their reactions were resolved “.
