One of the two COVID-19 vaccines approved for use in the United States has caused facial swelling for people with cosmetic facial fillers.
According to information presented during this month’s meeting of a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) panel on Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine, two of four serious adverse events related to the vaccine in a phase three clinical trial happened to patients with the fillers, which are gel-like substances injected beneath the skin to help create a smoother or fuller appearance in the face.
