Sore skin and peeling lips after Restylane - delayed hypersensitivity reaction? (Photo)

November 7, 2016
Asked By:caspero in Bristol, GB

I had Resatylane Kysse treatment Friday 30th October). The swelling and the bruising has gone down; however the skin on my lips feels strangely sensitive. My lips feel fragile, as if smiling could cause small tears in the skin; the lips also feel irritated and itchy, sometimes developing transient red patches. I have to constantly apply thick layer of lip emollient to prevent my lips from peelin. Did not experience this reaction when I had the juvederm filler around 6mo ago. Hypersensitivity?

Answer: It appears that you have received too much of fillers at once.
