Legal Question in Product Liability in Illinois

Can I sue a company because their product will cost me to have plastic surgery?

Is it to late to file suit against a company because their product will cost me to have corrective plastic surgery? Three years ago I purchased a medicated lip balm and used it for a while then one day I noticed that my lips had begin to split in the middle on the top and bottom so when I smile my inner lip tissue shows and it looks completely gross (the skin that is under your lips is visable and it's not suppose to be) before using this product I had full beautiful lips no I can't even smile because my lip tissue shows and it looks very unattractive and gross because of this product
