Posted to Juvederm Allergy (Tear Troughs) on 26 Oct 2009
Hun, I would suggest you be very careful & let them know of your reaction to the Juvederm...The doc said that it is extremely rare to be allergic to one & not the other... The situation could very well be that you just became sensitized to it & you could definitely react to the other now...ie. You could theoretically take a baby aspirin every day of your life for 41 yrs, then suddenly become "sensitized" & no longer able to ever take it again. The same situation occurred for mewith sulfa drugs - I spoke to a nurse who told me since I hadtken them numerous times beefore that my symptoms "couldn't be an allergic reaction"... FORTUNATELY, the doctor called me himself just before I popped another one, as I would up in bad shape later with facial swelling & GIANT welts all over my body etc... You under no circumstances want to risk an anaphylactic reation!
I'm considering a thread-lift procedure which is what it sounds like most of you have had? I'm curious about the different results - knowing every one's body is different & all - you see I do not have any extra fat, and little excess skin so there will be none of this cutting skin... It sounds as if quite a few of you have had to have this done though, & it seems as if this causes a lot of bruising/complications? Am I gathering this right?
FYI people - you can go on-line & look up your doctors medical license, and get info like area of specialty, grad date & training & IF THERE HAVE BEEN ANY DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS, etc... Curious to know if you checked him out? My sincere sympathies to you!
