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 clinical complaint has 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.Prollenium medical technologies' medical director's response to this adverse event was provided to the clinic along with the letter indicating approved areas for injection for revanesse lips+ product: "the following is a clinical opinion based on the information provided below; on (b)(6), 2021 the patient had 1.2 mls of revanesse lips+ injected into her lips.The exact location of these injections was not provided.Blt anesthetic cream was applied prior to injection.There were no adverse events or concerns at the time of injection.Some time later ( ? months) the patient contacted the injecting physician because she became aware of "white spots on her lower lip".The treating physician diagnosed these as sebaceous glands.There were no signs or symptoms of an adverse event related to the injection.The patient requested that the physician consult with prollenium's medical director so an adverse event report was filed with the company.There is no available before photos.There were two after photos provided.One photo shows a few classic fordyce ( sebaceous ) glands on the lower central lip.The other photo does not show these glands.Neither photo shows clinical signs of lumps, nodules or any defined adverse injection events.Fordyce spots ( glands) are a normal and harmless condition that are felt to be present in 70-80% of adults.They are caused by elevated cholesterol, increasing age and excess sebum production ( oily skin).They can be exacerbated by stress, hormones or anything which blocks the sebaceous ducts, such as lipstick, topical products or excess dry or dead skin.They require no treatment and usually fade with time.My clinical opinion is that this case does not represent an adverse event but rather a normal physiologic event.I trust this opinion will be of value to all parties concerned.".
