The anti-filler propaganda is everywhere these days.
If I didn't know any better l'd believe it too.
Having been injecting for almost a decade, l've seen countless bad outcomes, but blaming "filler" is a polarizing take, and honestly, an oversimplified one.
Filler problems start at the proximal end of the syringe.
Potential use of filler should always begin with a highly detailed medical and treatment history. Period. This is non-negotiable.
A highly comprehensive facial assessment should follow - a facial assessment that includes every area of the face, not just the one being injected.
In depth anatomical knowledge should be a prerequisite.
The anti-filler narrative is tired, and it creates unnecessary fear around a tool that, when used correctly, can be incredibly powerful and natural-looking.
If you are a patient who is considering filler but scared of what you're seeing online, what matters most is why, how, and by WHOM it is being used.
