Swelling 3 months after non surgical rhinoplasty. Am I having an allergic reaction? (Photo)

Question

I got a non surgical rhinoplasty on December 11 2018 and today March 1 2019 I woke up and the bridge of my nose and sides of my nose are swollen as well as my eyelids! Am I having an allergic reaction, will this pass, or should I get it reversed?

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

General, if somebody is going to have an allergic reaction to something, it would occur immediately, not typically 3 months later. If you feel like you're swelling is most prevalent in the areas where you were injected on your nose, then you would benefit from visiting your doctor for an evaluation. Wishing you well moving forward. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Thank you so much for your questions. There are some delayed reactions that have been reported with certain HA fillers. I would contact your injector and discuss the reaction with them and be seen for an evaluation and discussion of your options.Good luck!Dallas R.
