While filler treatments are generally safe, they can carry certain side effects, risks, and complications.
Immediately following the procedure, common side effects such as redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection sites are typical and tend to resolve within a few days. Rarer but more severe risks include allergic reactions to the filler, infections, or vascular occlusion, which involves the filler obstructing a blood vessel.
Additional complications, though less common, can manifest as asymmetry, lumps, or the Tyndall effect— a bluish discoloration of the skin that occurs if the filler is injected too superficially. While incidents such as nerve damage or prolonged swelling are rare, they can occur.
To mitigate these risks, it is essential to select an experienced injector and adhere to all recommended pre- and post-treatment guidelines.
