Even if you’re a needle-phobe, the Restylane syringe is a welcome sight for those of us fighting off wrinkles. Restylane was approved by the Food and Drug Administration a number of years ago, but the approval was specific to treatment of the nasolabial folds. Restylane has been used off-label for just as long to plump lips. Some patients are hesitant to augment their lips with a dermal filler because it hasn’t been approved for that specific use by the FDA. However, according to a new report on http://today.msnbc.msn.com, dermal filler for lip augmentation is on the verge of being approved! Http://today.msnbc.msn.com reports that an advisory panel to the FDA has recommended the use of Restylane dermal filler to augment lips. Although the FDA hasn’t made a final determination, Today health reports that “the agency usually follows advisory panel recommendations.” Good news for patients who may be hesitant to plump their lips due to a missing FDA approval.
