FDA Panel Backs Approval of Restylane for Lip Augmentation

Friday, June 24, 2011

Dermatologists may not have to use Restylane off label for lip augmentation any longer. On April 27, a Food and Drug Administration panel voted 6-0 with 1 abstention that benefits outweigh risks for using the filler as a submucosal injection for lip augmentation.

The panel also voted 6-0 with 1 abstention that the filler is safe and effective for the expanded indication.

Restylane (Medicis Aesthetics) is a hyaluronic acid gel generated byStreptococcus bacteria, chemically crosslinked with 1,4 butanediol diglycidyl ether. The filler was first approved in 2005 for mid-to-deep dermal implantation for the correction of moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds.
