The FDA has approved injectable dermal fillers for specific uses in adults age 21 or older. Dr. Kam explains the benefits and risks during the consultation.    The benefits of dermal filler may include: – Filling moderate to severe skin folds and wrinkles. – Increasing the volume under the eyes. – Adding volume to the lips, cheeks, chin, jawline, and back of the hands.   There are risks with any medical procedure. Most side effects reported during clinical trials occurred immediately after injection and went away within a few weeks. Rarer side effects may emerge later. Dermal filler risks include localized pain, bruising, swelling, redness, tenderness, a rash, and itching. One serious complication could arise from unintended injection into blood vessels, which could cause damage to the facial skin.   Having filler with an experienced surgeon like Dr. Kam dramatically reduces the risks associated with dermal filler.
