Did I have an allergic reaction to Restylane? Which alternatives can I use in the future?

H
helleborusNov 15, 2022

Had a small amount of restylane injected in my marionette lines and corners of upper and lower lip. After 3 days I started itching and my chin, cheeks and forehead were on fire with burning sensation and pinkish colour of the skin. Bought antihistamines Cetirizine and after 5 days it calmed down. Was this a allergic reaction to the lidocain or is it possible to be allergic to restylane itself? What can I use in the future?

Hi, I’m Lauren, the aesthetic injector at Colorado Plastic Surgery Center. Restylane Refyne is designed for moderate smile lines like the nasolabial folds or the marionette lines, and would be a good option for you based on your goals.

I recommend fillers to soften the nasolabial folds themselves and also lift around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine Sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, skin tightening treatments such as Thermage, Fractora, and Renuvion...
