Asked By:jackie3185 in New York, NY

I received volbella injection in upper lip and a little under eyes exactly one month ago. This morning I woke up with bad swelling that got worse as the day went on in my upper and a little swollen under eyes. I contacted my injector and his response was "I have never seen any type of delayed reaction to hyaluronic lip fillers" I went to the emergency room and they told me I may have angioedema but they are not sure why or what caused it. They did not give me anything to treat.
