Can Swollen and Red Eyelids Be an Allergic Reaction to Vi Peel Or Botox?

August 25, 2011
Asked By:missyou in Hollywood, FL

I had a vi peel and botox one week ago. After about 3 days, my eyelids were red and swollen and sagging. My doctor was out of town for three days. When I saw her, she said it was an allergic reaction to the vi peel (she did apply it to my eyelids), and prescribed prednisone. I haven't read anything suggesting an allergic reaction like that to the vi-peel. I think it could have been a reaction to the botox. Please give any suggestions.
