Protect Yourself From Beauty Dangers

As with any cosmetic procedure, surgery or treatment, there are always
risks that you should be aware of. Most complications are infrequent or rare
and are generally correctable.

INJECTABLES AND FILLERS: Infection, clumping, nodules or lumps, bleeding, bruising, swelling, temporary paralysis, and filler migration.

LASERS: Scarring, pigmentation changes, burns, andinfection.

SURGERY: Bleeding beneath the skin, asymmetry and contour irregularities, nerve injury, scar tissue, infection, loss of sensation, and death.

DID YOU KNOW?

A doctor without any training can buy any laser machine or injectable substance and use it.

HOW TO AVOID THE DANGERS
* Be careful of marketing terms that make a procedure seem like
it is not surgery—when in reality it is.
* Do your homework and select only a skilled injector or surgeon,
who is either a board-certified
dermatologist, plastic surgeon, or facial plastic surgeon.
* Always research the doctor that you’ve selected before having
any procedure performed.
* If an injectable, filler, or laser is being used, make certain it is FDA-approved.
Always ask to see the product (unopened) and check the bottle or
machine for brand names and logos.
* Make sure that you follow your doctor’s pre- and post-procedure
instructions and that you are in optimal health before you undergo a procedure.
