The filler was injected into the patient and is not available for return.The batch release form was reviewed and the device met all specifications prior to release.Delayed inflammatory reactions that may manifest as angioedema / oedema, pain and induration weeks to years after injection are well-known and documented reactions in the context of hyaluronic acid dermal filler injections.They may be related to a delayed immune response or to a bacterial infection.They can be triggered by patient predisposition, trauma, dental procedures, vaccines, or infections.This is a known potential adverse event addressed in the product labeling.Additionally, the product was used off-label in the lip region.We cannot rule out that this may have contributed to the reported event.(b)(4).
