Problems with most dermal fillers are extremely rare. Temporary fillers, such as hyaluronic acid or porcine collagen are very safe and rarely cause any problems.

One possible dermal filler side effect following treatment is infection at the injection site. You can avoid this by carefully following your practitioner’s post treatment advice.

Some people do suffer from allergic reactions to fillers but again this is rare. If you have any lasting redness, itching or swelling after your treatment, contact your practitioner.

Another side effect of some fillers is the appearance of lumps or bumps under the skin. This can often be attributed to the product being injected too superficially and therefore being visible through the skin. Hyaluronic acid products can be dissolved using a product called hyaluronase. Speak to your practitioner if you have any lumps following treatment. In some cases lumps can be permanent.

Another possible complication is over enhancement of the area. If you have had a temporary filler, this will reduce over the next few months. If you have had a permanent filler, be aware that any over correction will last for a number of years. It is usually advisable to have treatment with temporary filler first to make sure you are happy with the results before you consider having a permanent filler.

If you have had any cold sores in the past these can break out again after treatment so you should alert you practitioner to this during your consultation so they can prescribe medication to minimize this risk.

Most negative side effects of fillers are manageable and can be dealt with by you practitioner. If you have any concerns following your treatment contact them to talk through your concerns.
