Risks Of Facial Filler Injections
Just like with any surgical or nonsurgical procedure, facial filler injections have risks and can cause adverse events which can range from mild to severe.
-
Mild side effects
One can experience mild, transient side effects from the procedure such as redness, swelling, tenderness, and bruising. These usually go away between 7 to 14 days, if not sooner.
-
Serious side effects
When fillers are injected by an untrained physician, serious side effects can ensue such as the formation of lumps, allergic reactions, skin discoloration, infection, and severe swelling.
