Celebrities beware! Moderna vaccine can cause swelling in people with facial fillers, dermatologist warns
- The moderna vaccine causes a reaction in people with cosmetic facial fillers
- Patients who received the vaccine experienced swelling in the area with the fillers in it
- It means celebrities, including the British Lauren Goodger, can get comments
- A California dermatologist said the response was immunological
Lip fillers respond poorly to one of the coronavirus vaccines, an FDA advisory committee has noted, putting celebrities, including Kylie Jenner, at risk.
Anyone with cosmetic facial fillers could experience swelling and inflammation after several subjects experienced side effects, according to experts.
A California dermatologist said the response was immunological, ABC7 reported yesterday.
Dr. Shirley Chi said all side effects were easily managed with steroids and anti-histamines, adding, ‘Your inflammatory immune system gets fired up when you get a vaccine, that’s how it should work.

It means that celebrities including British TV personalities Chloe Ferry (pictured) and Lauren Goodger, as well as US-based socialite and businesswoman Kylie Jenner – all of whom have admitted to having fillers – can get side effects when it’s their turn to get the vaccine
“So it makes sense that you would see an immune response in certain areas where they see a substance that does not naturally occur in your body.”

Patients who received the Moderna vaccine, which was approved by regulators last Friday, all had swelling in the area where the filler was placed.
Two patients had cheek filler six months before their vaccination and one had lip filler two days after the vaccine. The reactions were quickly resolved with medical attention, added Dr. Chi to it, so it shouldn’t stop people with fillers from getting the shot.
Moderna’s approval came a week after Pfizer’s vaccine was approved, making it the first COVID-19 shot administered in the US.

Thousands of health workers have received the shot from Pfizer to date, and it is hoped that – with two shots now on the market – will further accelerate the roll-out of vaccinations.
The Moderna vaccine is available in quantities from 100 doses and can be stored in refrigerators at standard temperature for 30 days.
Pfizer’s vaccinations, on the other hand, come in boxes of 975 doses, must be shipped and stored at -94 F (-70 Celsius), and can only be stored for five days at standard refrigerator temperatures.
Officials in Texas and Arkansas told Reuters they expect Moderna to be the premier vaccine for rural areas, which often lack the ultra-cold storage equipment to store full trays of Pfizer’s vials.
Once the plastic on a Pfizer 975 dispenser is opened, recipients have only 120 hours to use the vaccine.
“Logistics will be easier with the Moderna vaccine,” said Jesse Breidenbach, senior executive director of pharmacy for Sanford Health, which operates nearly four dozen hospitals in South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa.
“Thirty days in the fridge makes it a little easier to handle,” said Breidenbach.
