The clinical complaint has been adequately investigated.The lot number has been verified and has been confirmed to be released by the company.It has been confirmed that no previous clinical complaints have been found for the particular lot number in question.The batch record, qc test reports, and training of staff were analysed and it has been determined that product is within required specifications, and manufactured according to appropriate procedures.This complaint is considered as off label use and the clinic have been informed by prollenium medical technologies that injections into unapproved areas such as the lips, lower eyelid, tear troughs and medial cheeks are to be avoided as stated in the revanesse® versatm+ directions for use (dfu) available at (b)(4).Prollenium medical technologies' medical director's response to this adverse event was provided to the clinic.The response from medical director is as follows: "the following is a clinical medical opinion based on the information provided by the clinic.A treatment plan, as requested, would be of value in assessing this case.Specifically which regions of the upper lip were injected with the 0.3mls of product, (vermillion or body, central or lateral).Which topical anesthetic was used and at what percentages.What tissue disinfectant was applied prior to and during injection.The after photos clearly show swelling of the upper lip along with erythema and swelling of both cheeks and the chin.The history received claims product was only placed in the lip.The most likely clinical explanation for the facial erythema and swelling is an allergic reaction to a substance applied to these areas such as disinfectant, topical anesthetic or post procedure topical product.Although a reaction to the injected ha is a rare possibility it would only be expected where the product was injected.I trust this opinion is of value to all parties involved.".
