Asked By:Calileb in Austin, TX

I got juvederm voluma 5 days ago .the next day I woke up with red swollen cheeks wz a burning feeling. I talked to my plastic surgeon he prescribed Medrol for 6 days and said it s allergy to lidocaine.I m on benadryl. Swelling and burn feeling disappeared but redness still there. Will that disappear? To what I m allergic juvederm itself or lidocaine? Not to forget to mention I m allergic to penicilin.
