Complication Management

  1. Dermal Fillers:
    • Inflammation: The treated area can become red, swollen, and tender due to the body’s response.
    • Infection: There’s a risk of bacteria entering the injection site, causing infection.
    • Disfigurement: In rare cases, the filler can form lumps or move under the skin, leading to uneven appearance.
  2. Botox:
    • Bruising: The injection can cause small bruises at the injection site.
    • Asymmetry: If the Botox spreads unevenly, it can cause uneven facial expressions.
    • Drooping: In rare cases, Botox can cause temporary drooping of the eyelids or eyebrows.
  3. Skin Boosters:
    • Redness and Swelling: The skin can appear red and slightly swollen after treatment.
    • Infection: Like other injections, there’s a risk of infection if the skin isn’t properly cared for.
    • Lumps: Sometimes small lumps can form under the skin, which usually resolve on their own.
  4. Hyaluronic Acid Injections:
    • Swelling and Bruising: Common side effects include swelling and bruising at the injection site.
    • Allergic Reactions: Though rare, some people may have an allergic reaction.
    • Vascular Occlusion: If the filler accidentally enters a blood vessel, it can block blood flow, which is a serious complication.
  5. PDO Threads:
    • Swelling and Bruising: Common side effects include swelling, bruising, and tenderness.
    • Infection: There’s a risk of infection at the thread insertion points.
    • Asymmetry: The threads might not lift evenly, causing asymmetry in the face.

These are some of the complications that can occur, and it’s important to address them promptly with a qualified professional.
