What warnings should my doctor advise me about?
One of the risks with using dermal fillers is the unintentional injection into a blood vessel.

These complications, which have been reported for facial injections, can include vision abnormalities, blindness, stroke, temporary scabs, or permanent scarring of the skin.
Do you have to wait for fillers for any reason?
The use of dermal fillers where skin sores, pimples, rashes, hives, cysts, or infection are present should be postponed, as this may delay healing or make skin problems worse.
Also, if you have had a COVID vaccine, you must wait at least 2 weeks to have fillers.
How long do fillers last?
Hyaluronic acid fillers typically last 6-9 months after being injected and will dissolve naturally over time.
