Making a nasolabial fold dermal filler claim.
The Hidden Dangers of Nasolabial Fold Fillers
Our cosmetic surgery negligence team has seen a significant surge in enquiries relating to dermal fillers – a non-surgical solution to lines and wrinkles. Among the most commonly treated areas are the nasolabial folds – the lines running from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. While many people undergo this procedure with no issues, there are significant risks that can lead to severe complications, leaving patients with lasting damage.
Widely marketed as a quick and relatively “safe” cosmetic enhancement, injecting filler into the nasolabial folds carries substantial risks, some of which can be life-altering. These include:
- Vascular Occlusion – When filler inadvertently enters a blood vessel, blocking blood flow. This can lead to tissue necrosis, permanent scarring, and even blindness if the filler travels to the retinal artery before the treatment can be reversed.
- Nerve Damage – The nasolabial area is highly vascular, with several important arteries and nerves. If this area is compressed or injured, patients may suffer long-term numbness or facial asymmetry.
- Infections and Granulomas – Unsterile techniques or reactions to the filler material can lead to serious infections, abscesses, or granulomas. These can require surgical removal and prolonged medical treatment to counteract and improve the appearance of.
Clinics often advertise dermal fillers as “low risk” and are performed in non-medical settings, such as beauty salons, or by unqualified practitioners.
