Can alcohol causing lip swelling months after lip filler?

Question

I had lip filler done over 8 months ago ( 1ml Restylane) I get random swollen bumps and lumps on my lips when I even just have one glass of wine, after a few hours it goes away. I'm just curious if this is normal to happen months after the procedure?

You may be having a potential allergic reaction to the alcohol that you are consuming. A delayed adverse reaction that causes disproportionate swelling after injections with hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers has occurred in the past, but your symptoms are not persistent. I recommend that you contact the health practitioner that injected the Restylane into your lips for advice.
