💉 ‘Filler, Explained’ - Part 2✨
Can we talk about one of the biggest worries I hear when someone is considering filler?
“What if something goes wrong?”
Honestly, I completely understand why people feel nervous. If you’ve researched filler, you may have come across the term vascular occlusion, or VO.
A vascular occlusion can happen if filler enters or compresses a blood vessel and affects the blood supply to the surrounding tissue. It’s an uncommon but serious complication, and it’s something every injector needs to be able to recognise and manage appropriately.
This is why who you choose to treat you really does matter.
For me, filler isn’t simply about creating a lovely result. It’s about understanding facial anatomy, using careful clinical judgement and making sure you understand the potential risks before deciding whether treatment is right for you.
Certain hyaluronic acid fillers can also be dissolved if clinically necessary, but no aesthetic treatment is completely risk-free.
So if fear of complications has been holding you back, please ask questions. A good consultation should leave you feeling informed, never pressured. 🤍
