Excellent explanation! I had a blood vessel injected with Restalyne in the nasiolabial fold the very first time I got fillers. My whole nose developed a purple lacy pattern and got extremely cold. It was a Friday afternoon. Thank God I called the office to see if that was normal. The doctor, a dermatologist who actually studied with my husband, was mortified. He was able to dissolve it and I used nitroglycerin cream for a week, which brought excruciating headaches. He called me every night to check on me. I’ve since had Botox and under eye filler, but never in that area again.

I asked a cosmetic filler type of doctors to inject my year troughs too...after losing weight from being ill...and he suggested wait and see if I can gain some weight and gain a little bit of fat in the face...I am glad he suggested waiting...I was stressed and thinking fillers would make me happy...we talked about Botox on the forehead and glabella too but I wasn't ready to make a decision...this was just a consult. I later then thought about it and have heard of complications like blindness...so a year later I am feeling better and instead am using topical creams and stuff...not expecting miracles but just letting them and a little mineral makeup give me a bit of glow and self care. And so I have decided to not risk fillers..,we can't look young forever and even though risk is low I don't want to be the one where it could go wrong

Things can go wrong even in the hands of the most seasoned injectors. Going blind is a very real risk. This is why I don’t understand why ultra sound guided filler injections aren’t mandatory. And why medspas-s run by nurses and sometimes even just aestheticians are allowed to inject things into people’s faces. The regulations should be so much stricter on fillers.

As consumers (and imo even some injectors) of these types of procedures, there is a belief that these procedures are almost no risk. I agree that they have minimal risks, however, it is important to highlight the risks involved. You've also highlighted the need for CPD, for injectors.

Absolutely. I had dermal filler injected slightly to the outside and underneath my orbital bone. The only vein checking done was a slight pulling on the syringe. I reported to the doctor my horrific bruise and he blamed me. Later my skin fell off atop the injection. He burst one of my blood vessels near my eye from having injected the entire syringe into it. Still "not his doing" and i seriously doubt he reported it. Now i have a depression almost the size of a dime beneath my orbital bone on my cheak. I told him i was afraid it was going to effect my eye since the bruising came so close to it. That entire side of my face turned black and nearly ten years later is still discolored with blotchy redness and a big white scar. Thank God that was what occured and not the permanent loss of vision. It also hurt like stinging death at the time of injection but i was not told i should not feel pain.

I went to the temporal aria fillers Voluma today. And the first doctor, who told me that there is a possible risk of blindness. No one has ever told me that before. :( As a result, I made my cheekbones, (this of course will not help lifting as the temporal aria, but still there will be a some lifting effect) The doctor said the risk is less in the cheekbones. The doctor is very professional. And two years ago I did filler in the bridge of the nose. Now the nose is taboo. A few years ago, a surgeon told me to be very careful with fillers. And he said “ I shouldn't say that though. But just be very-very careful! “ Now I understand what he meant. It seems that beauty doctors have a mutual guarantee not to disclose such serious side effects! And I am glad, that there are still doctors who, to the detriment of their interests, provide such important information about this terrible side effects

I had filler injected in my nasolabial folds over 10 years ago by a nurse and she injected so deep, she hit my artery. Fortunately, the filler didn’t cause me to go blind thank God but it irritated that he artery and created a ‘tick’ in my face like a noticeable pulse especially when the weather is warm. That caused me enough stress but it’s nothing compared to going blind. It didn’t make me feel lucky but I guess I am. You never know how close you get to a traumatic situation and then are saved from it...

thanks for such an informative video. I watched a video which highlighted the disastrous effect of misplaced filler and the resultant necrosis of the artery and skin on several patients. Very scary, shocking and frankly off putting. The EU requires a medical license to apply fillers but here in the UK it is not regulated. Your average "beauty therapist" will have little knowledge and zero experience in the event of something going wrong but these procedures must be happening in their thousands every year. This from the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons site: Two out of three surgeons seeing botched filler ops -Survey reveals 84% of problems with permanent fillers require surgery or deemed untreatable. The top reasons surgeons feel complications occur with injectables are: Unqualified practitioners are administering fillers incorrectly Lack of regulation has allowed unproven substances to be used in the UK Patients think of them as an easy treatment that can be administered by anyone Patients are unaware of the risks and side effects involved with the procedure

As they become more common, cosmetic procedures are more often undergone with flippancy. Your precautionary videos have helped me give augmentation decisions the gravity of consideration they warrant; thank you.

I applaud you for being so open and informative. I'm in Japan and the options are limited here but now I am even more worried that maybe it is not safe to get fillers in Japan. Wish I could hop down to Australia and visit VCI!

Has anyone tried using a ‘vein finder’ to assist mapping vascular flow?

You can only do this by injection of filler under ultrasound guidance. As far as I know, virtually no-one does this. It is very cumbersome to inject whilst scanning

Doctor, I realize this is an older video, but I want to know should unfortunate accidents happen to patients WHERE is this supposed to be reported?? Doctors are board certified but nurses doing these procedures are not so how does the public check their "safety" record??

I did hear about this before. Your video is so informative and worth educating us as clients. I get fillers done but I did my research and found a reputable place with highly skilled doctors. I try to steer my friends from going to the really cheap places to save themselves money so I link them your videos 🙌🏻

MyEpiphany77 Botox doesn’t cause occlusions virtually impossible. You don’t need to aspirate when doing Botox. It’s superficial. Even if you hit an artery it would just swell/bruise at worst.

This truly helped me so much! I got Botox & cheek filler Tuesday & Friday had small amount of double vision, then woke up Saturday and was definitely blurry & not able to read something on my phone like I usually can. I also had some pressure in the top of my eyes with a headache. It got better over the morning but head hurts again & lights are also sensitive to me. I’ve had Botox many times in my forehead and frown area, I’ve never had cheek filler until this time. Never had anything but headaches after Botox. Monday I’ll be calling the office to let them know but I’ve been so scared! This video helped me a lot bc I had no idea fillers could cause blindness!! I’m still scared, what massage can I do until Monday to help ? And if anyone has experience with my situation please let me know! 🙏
