Is vomiting after injecting filler in the chin common or am I allergic to facial fillers?

Loving1609Apr 13, 2019
I had my chin injected with filler at a good clinic in Thailand then I realized 4 hours later I began feeling nauseous. I threw up later on and realized my chin began bruising after the vomiting episode. Does this happen to anyone else? I just need some answers because I want to get a jawline augmentation but I am not sure whether I am allergic to facial fillers or not. Thank you!
