(What is the biggest side effect of fillers??) The biggest side effect
is when you get nose fillers
and the filler is injected with a lot of force
(If too much pressure is applied) it may cause a retrograde flow in an artery
it can travel up that artery
(The filler goes where it shouldn't!)
Hello, I'm Dr. Lee, who strives for beauty
The word "filler" comes from "fill" with an "er" added
meaning a substance that fills something
That's when we use the term "filler"
It's a very effective procedure for adding volume
However regarding the procedure
without sufficient understanding
and just trusting trends or recommendations from others
and blindly following them
can lead to unexpected side effects or dissatisfaction
(Fact checking numerous rumors about Fillers!) Today I'd like to briefly address
the truths about fillers that many people are curious about
(Filler Fact Check: Do frequent filler injections cause tolerance?)
Before going into it, the definition "tolerance" is important
Tolerance is when something is introduced and its effect starts to diminish 22
With fillers the filler itself enters and creates volume
so it's not quite accurate to use the word "tolerance" for fillers
It's not that my body improves
but rather the filler goes in and fills the area
(Fillers add volume according to the amount injected regardless of age) Whether you're in your 20s 50s or 80s the volume increases according to the am
Older individuals
when they receive fillers
often experience higher satisfaction
However while fillers don't cause tolerance
allergic reactions can sometimes occur
Allergies can appear in the early stages
or late-onset allergies can also occur
Although very rare
it's caused by an immune response to the cross-linking agents
or other substances contained in the filler
When side effects like this
occur due to fillers
it's not because of the hyaluronic acid itself
Therefore if you receive treatment with a different line or brand of filler
the issue usually resolves in most cases
(Filler Fact Check: Are there dangerous areas for fillers?)
Since we get fillers to fill something
they can be used in all areas
The areas where they produce dramatic effects are
the forehead and the bridge of the nose
or the nasolabial folds (smile lines), lips, chin tip, under the eyes
and many people get them for neck wrinkles
And these days people also get them for sunken temples
Nevertheless
There are some dangerous areas
(The tip of the nose/glabella is risky for filler) Directly the tip of the nose or the glabella
Next, although we often get filler on the nasolabial folds
(Nasolabial folds also require caution) they are considered as somewhat risky areas
In the case of the cheekbones, because there’s a lot of movement
it might spread or rise in an unnatural way
(Filler fact check: Can necrosis happen from filler?)
Necrosis occurs due to two causes
One is when the blood vessel is compressed by the volume of the filler
The other is when the blood vessel itself is blocked by the filler
When blood cannot flow, necrosis occurs
If the artery supplying that area
is not just one but
two or three
even if one is blocked, the others can cover the blood flow
so necrosis won’t occur
But in the dangerous areas I mentioned earlier—
the nasolabial folds, tip of the nose, and glabella
there is only one artery in the surrounding tissue
When treating that area
it’s extremely risky
so if that artery gets compressed or blocked
blood can’t flow and necrosis may occur
(Shh! Just between us!)
(Filler fact check: Can a nose filler cause blindness?)
Blindness occurs
when the artery that supplies the inside of the eye is blocked
Rather than the compression
of the blood vessel
Blindness usually results
from the artery actually being blocked
Actually, glabella used to be treated frequently
but these days it’s rarely treated on its own
Because of the risk of blindness
it’s considered a dangerous area
and there is a possibility of blindness
Some fillers
have not even been
approved for use on the glabella
Sometimes when I mention the glabella
people think it means the nasal bridge
but the nasal bridge is not the glabella
Actually, the glabella is slightly higher
the part that moves when we frown
That part is quite dangerous
So when injecting filler in the glabella area
we don’t inject directly into the glabella
or use a sharp needle
(Use a blunt-tipped cannula) We use a cannula to lift from the forehead area together
If the wrinkle is deep, we use a wrinkle filler and inject into the skin layer
It's not about the lower layers of the skin where the arteries pass
I use the method of tightening your skin
by putting filler directly into the skin layer
So for people who only had nose fillers but say they went blind
Did they get fillers in their glabellas while raising their nose bridge?
Oh, that's not it
When you apply a nose filler
and the filler is injected with a lot of force
(If too much pressure is applied) it may cause a retrograde flow in an artery
The filler can go straight up through the artery
and get pushed into the eyeball
The reason why I recommend
patients to get treatment from head doctors who have a lot of experience is
(The operator's sense of fingertips is important!) that the sense of this fingertip is very important
(If it feels different than usual, doctors should notice it right away) When the pressure feels storonger than usual
When I use this filler
when I use this needle gauge
it didn't have this much pressure before
Doctors have to feel it sensibly
(It is not common to go blind due to the procedure) In fact, it rarely occurs
going blind when you get a procedure
Even so
blindness is very dangerous
and you can't come back
We always have to be careful
No matter how probabilistic it is
if it happens to me, it becomes 100% to me
If that happens
it's better to go to a hospital
where you can treat it quickly
or you can be transferred to an ophthalmologist quick
It's best not to let that happen
Safety always comes first
I recommend that you don't get excessive filler procedures
for the sole purpose of beauty
How was it?
Today, we learned about fillers
Fillers are delicate procedures that require different approaches
depending on the treatment area and face shape
Please always check carefully
whether they use genuine fillers
and the medical staff have lots of experience
make a plan that suits you
and make a careful decision
