“Juvederm Allergy (Tear Troughs)”
No swelling, etc, looks great. An hour later I developed an allergic reaction- blisters,swollen palms and soles,face and inside eye lid red raw,numb swollen tongue also with blisters,faint and unwell.Ended up in A&E.
I had Radiesse injected in my face last year and Restylane 6 years ago and never had any problems.Good result but serious allergic reaction. Wanted to fill tear trough area. Would never use again but want an alternative.
I am frigtened but in 6-9 months time I will need to be topped up and would like to go back to Restylane.Putting hylauronic acid aside is there differing ingredients in each filler as I am trying to work out whether it is the hylauronic acid I have suddenly developed an allergy to or another ingredient that makes up Juvederm?

Juvederm and Restylane allergy?
Both are quite rare; being allergic to one and not the other is even rarer.
I just tried Juvederm for the first time, but had Restylane and Perlane in the past with minimal bruising. The Juvederm was injected around my mouth and the beginning of marrionette lines, only 1 syring, but I have had redness and crusty in that area now for a week. I think you can have reactions to one particular filler.
