Is it likely that I will be allergic to all other fillers and can I get a patch test?

Asked By:1864 in Scotland, United Kingdom

I first had Juvederm Volift in 2015. Severe localised swelling but no other issues. I had the same product again a year later in my lips. After 4 weeks I developed a rash on my lips, persisted on a weekly basis over 6 months before improving. I had hyaluronidase a month after symptoms started with no effect. I never received a definitive answer only that I ‘may’ have had a reaction. Is allergy most likely? Thanks.
