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

Asked By:helleborus in Kansas, USA

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?
