Can Botox Injections Cause Allergic Reaction?

I was injected with Botox in my chin area n juvaderm around lips and nasolbial area. I have had pain and swelling for 8 months. I did blood work last week with a infectious disease doctor. Part of it came in and was good. He had to send off for the other part which I m unaware of. Just wondering if you can have an allergenic reaction for 8 months with these injections. I also was injected 5 months post op of having a facelift.
