Is there a way to know if I might get an allergic reaction to lip fillers?

Allergic reactions are not common in our office, however they are possible. You can ask your doctor to do a test spot first, to see if you respond. Hope this helps!

It is very rare to have an allergic reaction to fillers.  You could probably have a skin test performed, but the likelihood that you would be allergic is so small that it may not be worth your time and money.  If you have filler injected and do not like the result or have a reaction to the product, it can be dissolved.

Hi Jenny. Allergic reactions to lip fillers, especially Hyaluronic Acid ones, is very rare. If you are that concerned about it, a small amount can be given as a test spot in your arm to see if you react. See an experienced injector to discuss your options. Best wishes.

An allergy to Juvederm would be extremely rare. It is unlikely to be a problem for you. Injections with cannulas will limit possible complications. These fillers, (Restylane, Juvederm) are good to create a symmetrical and full lip. Implants or fat are alternative options. See an expert.

First-generation dermal fillers, introduced in the early to mid-1980s, were made of animal collagen and required a pat test first because they caused allergic reactions in about three percent of patients.With the new fillers, however, allergic reactions are rare. If you are concerned about how your body will respond, a skin test can be conducted. Your doctor will tray a small amount of the filler, injecting it into your skin. If no reaction occurs within about 15 to 30 minutes, it can be surmised that you're not allergic to that filler.
