Can I have lip filler done again after an allergic reaction to dissolver?

Question

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

Hello !

You could in theory after a few weeks - as long as you are not allergic to that one filler as well (which is also rare but can occur.)

I would advise you to be very careful when choosing you filler injector to avoid any filler complication (like migration) and inject a small amount to make sure you don’t need to dissolve it later. There is still new alternatives to traditional dissolver that are being marketed.

Also, maybe a lip lift/lower V-Y could be better options in term of results as fillers can only address volume and not the shape. These are surgical options but offer natural, permanent and dramatic results.

I hope this help,
Best of luck !

I think no one is going to be able to give you a meaningful answer based on such limited information. I suggest you ask your provider or providers.
If you’ve not had a reaction to fillers then I don’t see you why you cannot continue having fillers. Not all reactions or allergic reactions. there are four specific types of reactions that human body can have. Period these are. Immediate, cytotoxic, immune complex, and delayed hypersensitivity. if your reaction was not one of those that it was not an allergic reaction.
I suggest you have a more thorough conversation with your current provider or possible new providers.
 Best,
