Is this a Restylane Lyft allergic reaction?

Thank you for your question.  I would definitely return to the nurse who did your injection but also ask to speak to the medical director that oversees the injection.  The medical director is usually a physician who is well versed in what they are overseeing and should be able to give you additional guidance or refer you to a specialist like a dermatologist or plastic surgeon who can further assess if this is an allergic reaction or possible complication with the filler injection.  Calling Galderma is also a great option to explore as well.

I would recommend you return to your injector for a full evaluation. It's rare, but not impossible to react to an HA filler. You are more likely to be allergic to the skin prep.

It is extremely rare to have an allergic reaction from a Restylane Lyft injection. I would return to your provider for examination and report this to Galderma. Based on your symptoms I think it is reasonable to begin antibiotics and a Medrol dose pack, but this should be managed by your physician. I believe it is critical to have a board certified plastic surgeon perform all invasive procedures.
