I had Belotero injections and believe I may have had allergic reaction to lidocaine. Are there dermal fillers without lidocaine?

Asked By:faralynn in Toronto, ON

Specifically, which products are available without lidocaine? Are they difficult for doctors to obtain? My doctor is telling me there are no Belotero products without lidocaine and hasn’t offered any alternatives. I experienced intense itchiness (not just on my face but over my whole body), sore throat, and a mild anaphylaxis type reaction. Symptoms resolved with antihistamine use within 2 weeks. Thank you for your help.
