Reaction to Voluma
I wanted to update. At this point, my reaction has stopped for 5 months at this time, but the damage done from the inflamation, hives and granulomas has left my face with scars. My skin looks horrible from the reaction. I have discoloration and shallow atrophic scars on my cheeks. My skin use to be smooth and nice. Now I don't even want to put on makeup or go out in public.
Voluma Reaction
In December of this year, I stopped taking Allegra for 3 weeks since I had not had a huge for 2 months. I made it 3 weeks before I broke out in hives. This time the hives were much smaller. I went back to the allergist and he said that it looked as though my reaction was getting to be less severe and that the product was starting to leave. He said I will probably still get hives until all traces of the product are gone. He recommended I stay on the Allegra until the beginning of October before I try to go off again. My face is still red in the cheek area, which I was told, would probably stay that way until all of the product is gone. I still have hyper and hypo pigmentation on both of my cheeks, but the hyper is starting to fade. I also have some very shallow scars on my left cheek that are now being treated with skin pen. I am still getting chemical peels for the discoloration. I included a picture of my hives break out from the end of December.
Second filler dissolve
I went to have the rest of my filler dissolved on 10/9. My hives have stopped, and I haven't gotten any more hives in the last week. My face seems to not have any filler left, since my wrinkles are back. I am very happy about this. Also, my acne stopped, and I haven't had any new things show up on my face. I still have a bruise on my cheek from the first dissolve treatment. I am seeing a dermatologist right now, and am taking accutane to help with the acne. Also, I am using a topical for the discoloration. I am going to start getting salycylic peels in December, every 5 weeks, to help with scarring and discoloration. I will follow up in a couple months with new pictures.
