This non invasive treatment is generally considered very safe when performed by an experienced injector at a reputable practice. Even so, it’s crucial to be aware of potential risks of dermal fillers.
Short-Term Risks:
- Common Side Effects: Swelling, bruising, redness, tenderness (as discussed earlier in detail)
- Injection-related Risks: Lumps, asymmetry, infection (rare but possible, highlighting the importance of proper technique).
Long-Term Risks:
- Rare but Serious: There are very rare reports of complications like blindness or tissue damage if filler is accidentally injected into a blood vessel.
- Filler Migration: Over time, filler can (in uncommon cases) slightly shift from the original placement.
- Late Onset Reactions: Inflammatory reactions or nodules can occur weeks, months, or even years after injection.
Minimizing Risks of Dermal Fillers
- Choose a Qualified Injector: This is the most critical factor for your safety and optimal results.
- Use FDA-Approved Fillers: Reputable brands undergo rigorous testing.
- Communicate Openly: Inform your injector about your complete medical history and any previous cosmetic procedures.
