Abstract
BACKGROUND: Increasing use of dermal fillers, especially with the U.S. introduction of long-term and permanent fillers, is expected to increase the number of complications seen after treatment with these materials. OBJECTIVES: To provide physicians with an overview for treatment of dermal filler complications. RESULTS: Complications of dermal filler use can be treated successfully based on a firm understanding of the mechanisms and limitations of filler action and wound healing. Complications can be classified as immediate, early, or delayed onset; available treatment options are presented. CONCLUSION: Short- and long-term dermal fillers are increasingly becoming popular treatment options for signs of facial aging. Complications, although not common, can be treated effectively and excellent outcomes achieved.
