1st reaction with eyelash extensions, woke the next am to swollen eyes. I'd been doing my lashes for a year, had experienced some itching & swelling, but nothing like this. Was gone in a week w/o medicine Recent reaction when getting a Restalyne touchup -I believe it was from the numbing cream because I only had filler on 1 side of my face, but the cream on both sides. Was prescribed a steroid , swelling went away after a couple days. I have had filler before with no reaction same dr/cream

Answer: Botox allergy You clearly had significant allergic reaction to different products. Botox allergy is very rare but to be safe you should visit a allergist and be skin tested.

Answer: Swelling After Filler Thank you for sharing your photos. Based on your history and the photos, you had a contact dermatitis (allergic reaction to something applied to your eyelids and then your cheeks). If a hydrophilic hyaluronic acid filler (#Juvederm, #Restylane) was injected, your swelling will worsen over 4-8 hours but it is unlikely the reaction is due to filler. Also, your repeated exposure to the allergen will make subsequent exposure lead to more severe reactions. Please let your dermatologist know so you can avoid the topical agent next time. Consider refraining from applying eyelashe extensions or try a different "glue" adhesive. Best of luck,Suneel Chilukuri, M.D.Houston, Texas
