Late "allergic" reactions to filler/Botox, face has swelled up 5 times in a year. What could be the cause? (photos)

mer34
My face will swell up with no reason. Once it was probably from Botox on day 3 but others times the reaction comes months after. I have been getting Botox for over 5 years with no reaction before. Last filler in cheeks was 6/2021. Juvaderm. I got ct scan of face and no sinus or teeth infections. No idea if it is an reaction to the Covid vaccine. I'm just frustrated because I don't know the cause. But it feels like filler is having a reaction. Photo is from yesterday. Last Botox 7/22
