After Being Injected with Juvederm I Cannot Stand the Heat and I Get Red. Why?

April 29, 2011
Asked By:Anna_Maria in Greece

I have been injected with fillers around the nasolabial lines for more than five years.This time was different as I had a broken vein and I seem to get red above the lip area and around the injected area. Furthermore my chin has acne and I generally cannot stand the heat as I feel itchy. My doctor did not say much but gave me antibiotics for acne. Could this be some sort of an allergic reaction?It has been 11 days since the injection and only the acne is improving.
