Potential Risks and Side Effects

While Revanesse Shape+ with Lidocaine is a safe and well-tolerated dermal filler, patients may experience temporary or, in rare cases, serious side effects. 

Common side effects:

• Redness, swelling, and tenderness at the injection site: Usually subsides within a few hours to a few days.
• Bruising or slight bleeding: Common due to needle insertion, especially in delicate areas.
• Itching or sensitivity: Some patients may experience mild irritation, which resolves quickly.
• Minor lumps or uneven texture: This can occur due to filler placement but usually settles naturally.

• Prolonged swelling or bruising: Can last up to two weeks in some cases.
• Tingling or numbness: Temporary due to the presence of lidocaine in the formula.

Rare side effects:

• Asymmetry: Uneven distribution may require correction through touch-up treatments.
• Infection: Although rare, improper injection techniques or poor hygiene can introduce bacteria. Antibiotics may be required.
• Delayed inflammatory reactions: Small nodules or granulomas can develop weeks or months after treatment.
• Allergic reactions: Hypersensitivity to hyaluronic acid or lidocaine may cause swelling, itching, or rash.
• Vascular occlusion: Incorrect injection into a blood vessel can lead to serious complications such as skin necrosis or blindness. Immediate intervention with hyaluronidase is necessary.
• Scarring or prolonged lumps: Can occur in very rare cases and may require medical intervention.

Revanesse Shape+ with Lidocaine Treatment Contraindications

Revanesse Shape+ with Lidocaine is not suitable for everyone. Before administering treatment, medical professionals must conduct a thorough patient assessment to identify contraindications and ensure safety:

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women: The safety of hyaluronic acid fillers during pregnancy or lactation has not been established.
• Patients with severe allergies or hypersensitivity: Those allergic to lidocaine, hyaluronic acid, or any filler components should avoid treatment.
• Individuals with autoimmune disorders: Conditions like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or multiple sclerosis may increase the risk of complications.
• Patients with active skin infections or inflammation: Acne, cold sores (herpes simplex), or other infections in the treatment area can lead to further irritation or spreading of bacteria.
• People with bleeding disorders or on anticoagulant therapy: Conditions like haemophilia or medications such as warfarin, aspirin, or blood thinners increase the risk of excessive bleeding and bruising.
• History of severe keloid or hypertrophic scarring: Individuals prone to excessive scarring may not respond well to filler treatments.
• Patients with a history of vascular complications: Those with previous vascular occlusion or poor circulation should avoid deep dermal fillers due to the risk of blood vessel compression.
• Recent facial procedures or laser treatments: Patients should wait at least two weeks after undergoing chemical peels, laser resurfacing, or other aesthetic treatments before receiving dermal fillers.
• People with uncontrolled diabetes: Poor wound healing associated with diabetes mellitus can increase the risk of prolonged swelling, infection, or delayed recovery.
• Patients with epilepsy or neurological disorders: Lidocaine may affect individuals with a history of seizures or nerve-related conditions.
• Individuals with previous negative reactions to dermal fillers: A history of severe swelling, prolonged nodules, or allergic responses to hyaluronic acid fillers suggests that treatment should be avoided.
• People with unrealistic expectations: Patients seeking permanent changes or who have body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) may not be suitable candidates for dermal filler treatments.
