LEARN MORE ABOUT IMPROPERLY APPLIED LIP FILLERS

Turkey Medicals member and hospital department Expert Doctor said that if the filler material applied to the lips is applied incorrectly, it can cause blindness.

Lip filler, which has become one of the most popular aesthetic applications today, can have bad consequences when it is performed by medical personnel and non-specialists in beauty centers. Incorrectly applied filling materials can lead to irreversible tissue death and problems up to blindness.

Dermatology Specialist Doctor stated that the life of the filler is about 1 year, “The filling materials we make contain hyaluronic acid. We temporarily apply these filler materials to the patient’s lip area with needles or materials that do not have a sharp traumatizing effect. When we apply it with these materials, the filler life lasts about 1 year and then it is re-processed when the filler life expires again,” he said.

AVOID FILLER PROCEDURES PERFORMED IN BEAUTY CENTERS

Dr. expert physicians and medical personnel in a controlled manner as the filling process of operations that are performed by people who are not apply leads to irreversible complications, noting that “by people who are not health professionals in beauty centers is applied, and the filling process is done in an uncontrolled manner. As physicians, we are quite shy and cautious when applying the filling process.

Because there are complications, we apply it very slowly and in small amounts by calling people for a check-up. But the use of hyoropen, which is used quite widely outside, results in a sudden intensive application of the filler directly under the skin, in the lip area, and then there may be intense complications.

In particular, with the introduction of a filler into the vein, there may be intensive tissue death and irreversible losses in this area. As a result of the interconnection of the vascular networks in this area, there may be complications that can lead to blindness by injecting hyaluronic acid filler into the vein again in this area. Therefore, such procedures must necessarily be performed by physicians, people with specialized education. Certainly, these procedures should not be performed by non-medical personnel in beauty centers or other places,” he said.
