Most of the complications linked with filler and neuromodulator injections can be managed or prevented. The right protocol for management can help in alleviating rare cases of serious complications.

Recent years have seen an increase in the number of vascular complications in patients receiving fillers. However, the awareness about facial anatomy and knowing that there is no “one size fits all” approach will help prevent and manage complications.

Neuromodulators like botox are most commonly used in the upper face for treatment, and the complications may include eyelid ptosis, brow ptosis, and the “Spock brow.” When injecting fillers, there are rare complications such as blindness, which must be acknowledged. If vision complications occur from a filler, they will probably occur immediately. There may be involvement of skin or stroke-like features and vision; hence, it is essential to screen for these conditions if patients complain of vision loss.
