Though unlikely, there is a possibility of inducing an allergic reaction. 

 

To reduce the risk of complications and ensure your safety, your practitioner will review your medical history, including allergies and medications, at your initial consultation to determine whether you are an appropriate candidate for fillers.

​

The most common complications associated with fillers include receiving results other than you had intended, tiny lumps or irregularities under the skin, and prolonged redness.

 

After receiving dermal filler injections, patients prone to cold sores may develop an outbreak. Those with HSV-1 should therefore be treated with a course of antiviral medication prior to the procedure. Please contact your primary care provider, or our clinic in order to arrange for a prophylactic antiviral course prior to your filler treatment.

 

More serious complications such as infection and tissue necrosis are exceedingly rare.
