Potential Risks and Side Effects

While generally safe, some side effects may occur after the procedure, such as:

Common side effects

These side effects are typically mild and resolve within a few days:

• Swelling and redness: Temporary inflammation at the injection site.
• Mild bruising: Common due to needle insertion but fades within a week.
• Tenderness or discomfort: Slight pain or sensitivity that usually subsides within a few hours.
• Lump formation: Small bumps may develop but often settle with gentle massage.
• Itching or irritation: A minor reaction that resolves quickly.

Moderate side effects

Less common but may require additional care:

• Asymmetry: Uneven distribution of the filler, which may require correction.
• Prolonged swelling: Some patients experience puffiness lasting more than a few days.
• Nodule formation: Small, firm lumps under the skin, which may need professional massage or hyaluronidase treatment.
• Skin discolouration (Tyndall effect): A bluish tint in superficial injections, which can be corrected.

Rare side effects

These complications require immediate medical attention:

• Vascular occlusion: Accidental injection into a blood vessel, leading to skin necrosis if untreated.
• Severe allergic reactions: Rare cases of hypersensitivity that may cause difficulty breathing or swelling.
• Infection: Though rare, improper injection techniques can introduce bacteria, leading to complications.
• Granuloma formation: A delayed immune response causing persistent swelling or hard nodules.
• Nerve damage: Incorrect placement may lead to temporary numbness or altered sensation.
• Scarring or tissue damage: Uncommon but possible if complications like vascular occlusion are not addressed promptly.
