Hi I’m wanting the Juvederm lip filler but in the past I’ve had allergic reaction to pineapple and kiwi in the past, would this effect it at all?
It is impossible to predict whether you will have allergic reaction to Juvederm or not. What is known is that those with multiple allergies have a higher risk of habit this reaction. In general, the incidence of true allergic reaction to fillers is very low and is caused by hyaluronin associated protein components and some remnants from the manufacturing process. However, the majority of fillers are also pre-mixed with Lidocaine that may, very rarely, cause an allergic reaction. One of the contraindications to filler injections is in patients with multiple unrelated allergies. Your options: although you could have a "test" dose injected, it is still not 100% guarantee. You could take oral medication to minimize the risk. Minimize, but not eliminate. You may consider fat transfer, Allofill (fat-derived filler) or if absolutely needed, the implants. Good luck!
