Dr. Shirley Chi, a dermatologist certified by the local board, explains what the FDA committee pointed out.
“In these cases, all patients had swelling and inflammation in the area that received the filling. A couple of patients had cheek filling six months before the vaccine and one patient had lip filling two days after the vaccine. They were all treated with steroids and antihistamines and all their reactions resolved, “he said.
Millions of people have administered doctors filling facial cosmetics to smooth fine lines, wrinkles and improve cheeks and lips. Chi says the reaction to the vaccine is immunological.
“The immune system that causes inflammation increases when you get a vaccine, that’s how it should work. So it’s logical that you see an immune response in certain areas where you see some substance that isn’t a natural substance in your body.” , says Chi.
Chi also says don’t let this stop the vaccine when it’s your turn and let the medical staff easily treat all derma filling reactions.
