12/29/2023 0 Comments Fillers side effect![]() ![]() Fortunately infections and biofilms are very rare, but even with the most careful sterile procedure it can happen. ![]() Some fillers if injected close to the surface can create a bluish colour to the skin (tindle effect).Īny time the protective surface of your skin is breached, a bug could get in. Fillers like Aquamid may need to be excised to remove a lump. Lumps after Sculptra can be an over reaction to the treatment and nothing much can be done about them. Lumps can have many causes, but a lump that is not red or sore may be just a deposit of filler that has settled in the one spot. (You can have an allergic reaction to the hyalase too ! – but this is uncommon) Dissolving the filler with hyalase will usually settle this down. However these days there has been more study done on these reactions, and a biofilm is thought to be more often the cause. It had been thought to be a common cause for persisting lumps that developed weeks after filler injection. Fortunately this is very rare! It is possible to develop a slower reaction to filler, where the body walls off the products because it sees it as foreign. This is of rapid onset and causes breathing problems and is a medical emergency. The worst allergic reaction a person can have is an anaphylactic reaction. This is really an inflammation response and should settle over 24 hours. It is common to have some redness at injection sites, particularly noticeable if the filler is injected close to the surface. I have had one memorable patient who would bruise significantly even after 2 wines the night before. Some people are very sensitive to this and even the day after a party will bruise noticeably more than usual. Alcohol will make you bruise more as it affects the liver function. ![]() Sometimes things you are taking every day will make you bruise more (like fish oil, glucosamine, vitamin C and E, gingko, aspirin, nurofen, and other arthritis medications). Some people are just more prone to bruising. Your injector should always be trying to achieve treatments with minimal bruising, but the reality is, it is always possible. If you have any tingling of the mouth or tongue, or trouble breathing, you need a doctor straight away!Īny time that a needle pierces the skin it is possible to cause a bruise. Either the injection process has been unnecessarily rough, or very large amounts of filler have been used OR – you could be having an allergic reaction!! If you are at all concerned contact your injector. If lips puff up to your nose, and it is hard to speak, this is NOT normal. However, unless very large amounts of filler have been used, swelling should not be extreme. This should be managed easily with ice over the next 24 hours. Then, the filler itself can cause a temporary reaction as it pushes into the skin, resulting in some degree of puffiness. Some swelling is your bodies natural reaction to needles poking holes in your skin, particularly if the session has involved a lot of injection spots. Lets start with the common things you do know about. So let’s look at some of those problems, so you can be on the look out and can go straight to your injector to report these issues.(I will be talking about hyaluronic acid fillers mostly here as they are by far the most common used.) Of course if there is no doctor on site where you have had your treatment, or the doctor only swings by once a month………… Your local GP may not know enough to think of this as a cause. Otherwise you might not realise that problems you are getting could be from your filler. If you have had these treatments, hopefully you have seen a consent form and signed it, but often you may not read it, or if you do you may not really understand what it is talking about. I don’t think we talk about what can go wrong enough. We see the beautiful images of full lips, softened wrinkles and happy faces! In every shopping centre there is a place advertising sale prices (illegal to do by the way as these are prescription medications) for Botox, Dysport, Juvaderm, Restylane and so on. These days we are very familiar with injectable cosmetic treatments. ![]()
