Figures & data
Figure 1. An anaphylactic reaction after simultaneous injection of hyaluronic acid fillers and human collagen.
The figure shows a 63-year-old female before treatment (A) and the areas injected (B; red = Juvéderm Voluma; purple = Juvéderm Volift; blue = Humallagen). Around 1–2 hours after treatment, the patient showed erythema and swelling on the face (C; the mid-to-lower area of the left side of the face, where no treatment was given, was less erythematous) and urticaria over her entire body (D). By 14 hours post-treatment (E), symptoms had subsided except for swelling and redness of the upper and lower eyelids, primarily on the right side. The photographs in parts B–E were taken by the patient herself.
