⚠️ FILLER SAFETY. This post is not intended to scare, rather educate patients. The following images are not my own.
In the first photo, blood has been pulled back (aspirated) into the syringe prior to filler injection. This indicates the needle was inside of an artery under the skin (vessel that supplies our face with blood/oxygen) and we should not inject.
Injecting filler in an artery can ⚠️ block blood flow (vascular occlusion) resulting in pain, coolness, growing discolouration and tissue death if untreated (necrosis). Early detection is important to dissolve the filler and retrieve normal functioning.
In my practice I do my very best to inject safely❗️This entails a thorough understanding of anatomy while considering variations, experience with different techniques and proper complication management. If you know me, you know I always choose to inject in the ‘more safe’ ways and ensure my patients are well educated. You can trust me to be honest and turn your down if a treatment is inappropriate for you.
