READER: HE IS EXHIBITING SYMPTOMS POSSIBLY RELATED TO..
I saw your post and did a google search, thinking, like you, it might be a reaction to a costmetic treatment - my first thought was botox, but now thinking maybe collagen? Or might be something completely different....but it does seem to be a reaction to something (based on the swelling he seems to be suffering). This is what I found:
What Risks are Associated with Collagen Injections?
allergic reaction- 3% of adults have an allergy to collagen which is made from bovine collagen (a cow product)
Collagen allergies can take the form of rash, hives, joint and muscle pain, headache, and, in a few cases, severe reactions that include shock and difficulty breathing. Very rarely other effects that have occurred after collagen injections, and which appear to have been related to the injections, include infections, abscesses, open sores, lumps, peeling of the skin, scarring, recurrence of herpes simplex, and partial blindness.
Patients with certain connective tissue diseases may have an increased risk of severe allergic reactions to collagen injections. These connective tissue diseases include, but are not limited to, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. They also include polymyositis and dermatomyositis ("PM/DM"), which are chronic, progressive, sometimes fatal inflammatory disorders. Thus, collagen injections should be used with caution in people who have had these diseases. Some experts recommend that people who have had these diseases should either not be given collagen injections at all or should be given multiple skin tests before treatment. Tell the doctor about any history of allergies or connective tissue diseases.
