Facial fillers are typically used to enhance lips or cheeks and to help treat wrinkles. Last week the Food and Drug Administration warned of the possibility of complications from these dermal fillers. If fillers accidentally get injected into blood vessels during the procedure, it can cause serious harm.
When a filler gets injected into a blood vessel, a blockage may occur that will restrict blood supply to tissues. The filler may also travel to other areas of the body and cause serious problems such as:
- Vision Problems
- Stroke
- Blindness
- Damage or death of the skin and underlying facial structures
Never hesitate to inquire about experience and training, as choosing a highly trained profession is critical. You should always talk your doctor about injections sites, associated risks, and any concerns that you may have.
