A few years ago, I had an allergic reaction to restylane injected into my year troughs. The reaction was no immediate, occurring about 3 weeks after initial injection. I was advised to test with piriton and ibuprofen. After about 4 days I'd did subside but recoccutrd a few times before I had it dissolved. Would the same thing happen if I had juvederm filler? Has anyone had a similar situation and is it worth a go, knowing it could be dissolved again if I did?
