Can You Have an Allergic Reaction to Lip Filler 3 Months Later? (photo)

Although it would be unusual to have an allergic reaction to filler three months after the procedure, it is not impossible.  A granuloma is a delayed reaction to any foreign substance in your body and can happen anywhere from 1 week to 1 year after an injectable procedure.  That being said, I think it is unlikely that you are having an allergic reaction to the lip filler since it is diffuse.  Have you started using any new lip balms or lip creams?  I had a patient recently who had the same reaction after using a topical cream and it turned out to be a topical allergy.  If this is a reaction to the filler, you should talk to your doctor about treatment options which can range from oral antibiotics, steroids, or even injection of an enzyme to dissolve filler if a hyaluronic acid filler (Restylane, Juvederm, Belotero, Perlane) was used.  

It would help to know what product you had injected in your lips. In general, it is unusual to have a reaction 3 months after  your treatment. I would recommend following up with your physician, as they know the extent of your procedure. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

It would be unusual to have an allergic reaction 3 months after a filler injection to the lips.  It would be important to know what product was used to fill your lips however.  I definitely would contact the physician who treated you as you should be examined in person to try and determine what the problem may be.
