In this respect, it is highly recommended to <strong>ask about the manufacturer and the production techniques used <\/strong>(e.g. to verify that the hyaluronic acid was obtained through a bacterial fermentation process).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>While<\/strong> <strong>allergies or rejection problems are rare<\/strong> if not impossible due to hyaluronic acid per se, <strong>it is the agglutinating substances used to produce it that may cause them<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>Ensure <strong>that the surgeon uses a sealed ampoule and ask that they show you the label<\/strong> of the product used, certifying its quality and integrity.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Report to the doctor the presence<\/strong> of previous fillers, even if they were done a long time ago and, above all, if they were permanent ones (non-resorbable).
