Facial fillers: risks and limitations

View summary ↓

Girls, especially with hyaluronic acid, are used to add volume or change certain contours of the face.

They can give interesting results in well selected patients, but they are not anodized.

01

What a girl can do

Depending on the area and the product, a girl child may:

  • add volume to chin;
  • restore certain volumes of cheeks;
  • correct some hollows;
  • temporarily improve the contours of certain areas.

It does not move bones and does not replace surgery when the problem is structural.

02

The result is temporary

The duration depends on the product, the area injected and the person.

This means that a satisfactory result usually requires long-term maintenance if it is to be retained.

03

Adding volume is not always the solution

The trap is gradually injecting more and more products to correct each detail.

A face can then become swollen or lose its natural reliefs.

A good indication is often to use the minimum volume required.

04

Common risks

After an injection, one can observe:

  • swelling;
  • redness;
  • pain;
  • sensitivity;
  • bruises.

These effects are usually temporary, but other complications exist.

05

Serious complications

Accidental injection into a blood vessel may cause vascular obstruction. The consequences may include skin necrosis and, in rare cases, severe visual impairment or stroke.

This is one reason why self-injection is extremely dangerous.

06

Never inject yourself

Home injection tutorials give a false impression of simplicity.

Security depends on:

  • anatomy;
  • knowledge of injection plans;
  • infertility;
  • quality of the product;
  • the ability to recognize a complication;
  • the possibility of immediate treatment of a problem.

Buying a girl on the Internet and injecting herself is not comparable to a medical procedure.

07

Needleless pens

High pressure devices to inject needleless fillers have also been the subject of safety warnings.

The fact that a device is sold to the general public does not mean that it is safe.

08

Questions to ask before an injection

  • Which product will be used?
  • What is the specific objective?
  • How much is planned?
  • What complications are possible in this area?
  • What happens if I don't like the result?
  • Does the practitioner have the necessary equipment and skills in case of complication?
09

Good mindset

Girls are more interesting when correcting a specific point than when used to continue an endless transformation.

Always start with reversible improvements: skin, hair, weight, style, beard, eyebrows and photography. Only then, if an discomfort persists, a medical consultation can help determine whether a procedure makes sense.
