While Chin and Jawline Filler is generally considered safe, there are potential risks and side effects as with any cosmetic procedure. Possible risks associated with chin filler include:
● Bruising and Swelling: Mild bruising and swelling at the injection site are common but typically subside within a few days.
● Infection: While rare, there is a minor risk of infection at the injection site. Following proper aftercare instructions can help minimize this risk.
● Allergic Reactions: Although uncommon, some individuals may experience an allergic reaction to the filler material, ranging from mild to severe. Please discuss any allergies you may have with Dr. Keyes during your consultation.
● Asymmetry or Lumps: Improper injection technique or product placement may result in asymmetry or the formation of lumps under the skin.
● Nerve Damage: In rare cases, there may be temporary nerve damage in the treated area.
● Migration of Filler: The filler material may shift from the injection site, leading to unintended results. This risk is minimized by choosing an experienced and qualified practitioner like Dr. Keyes.
● Vascular occlusion: A vascular occlusion occurs when blood is no longer able to pass through a blood vessel. Symptoms of vascular occlusion include pain or discomfort at the site of the blockage, swelling, changes to your skin color; red (erythema) to blueish-purple or white spots (blanching), or cool temperature to the affected area of your skin. Contact the clinic immediately if you experience any of these signs.
Most lumps go away after a few days with gentle massaging. Any persistent lumps may need to be dissolved using hyaluronidase. Although most of these side effects are exceedingly rare, if you have any concerning reactions to your filler treatment, please contact Celebrity Plastics so that we can help you.
