Can I get Versa if I am severely allergic to peanuts and tree nuts?

Question

I am thinking of getting a dermal filler called Versa. I am severely allergic to peanuts and tree nuts. Are there any contraindications with that?

Ryan E. Austin, MD · Answer

Hi, thanks for your question. You may want to speak to your provider or doctor before you get your filler treatment, only because you mentioned that your allergic reactions to peanuts is severe. That said, Versa is a hyaluronic acid based filler which is a substance that is already present in the body, so allergic reactions to hyaluronic acid are typically quite rare. You should however not have this treatment if you are allergic to any of the proteins that make up hyaluronic acid or if you are allergic to lidocaine. That said there are typically no contraindications when it comes to dermal fillers and peanut or tree nut allergies.

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

Versa is one of many hyaluronic acid fillers available on the market today. Since all of these hyaluronic acid products are created in the laboratory, you should not have any issues with allergies despite the fact that you may have allergies to food products. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City plastic surgery
