Lip filler treatments are generally safe but can come with potential side effects, risks, and complications.
Common immediate side effects include redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection sites, which usually subside within a few days. Less common but more serious risks involve allergic reactions to the filler material, infection, and vascular occlusion, where the filler blocks a blood vessel.
Other complications, though less frequent, can include asymmetry, lumps, or the Tyndall effect—a bluish skin discoloration that occurs if the filler is injected too superficially. While rare, more severe issues such as nerve damage or prolonged swelling can occur.
To minimize these risks, it is crucial to choose an experienced injector and follow all pre- and post-treatment instructions from your clinic.
