Juvederm allergies

Richard P. Rand, MD answers: Juvederm for a Lyme Disease patient allergic to Penicillin?

I have Lyme Disease and I'm allergic to Penicillin. Would Juvederm be safe, or is there another filler I can consider?

I can't see why you would have a problem with Juvederm but what I do with any patient who is concerned is to do a small test on their arm like we used to do with collagen.  I charge them for the syringe and svae it for use after we see no reaction.
