Filler Complication / Dissolving Clinic

Clinic for Complications and Dissolutions

With the rapid growth of the cosmetic industry driven by commercial interests, regulatory frameworks have sometimes lagged behind, leading to an upsurge in complications. Recognizing the pivotal role of diagnosis and treatment in determining outcomes, we have established a specialized service aimed at addressing these issues within the community and among fellow practitioners.

Commonly encountered complications referred to our clinic include:

  • Skin problems post-laser treatment such as burns, ulceration, scarring, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
  • Unfavorable outcomes from dermal filler procedures including overfilled or uneven lips, visible lumps, swelling around the eyes, and facial disproportions.

Who can benefit

Our clinic welcomes patients referred by doctors seeking assistance in managing complications arising from aesthetic procedures. Additionally, we accept self-referrals without a doctor’s endorsement. Rest assured, we value discretion but are also open to liaising with your practitioner to ensure comprehensive care.

What to expect

Initiating contact with our reception staff to schedule an appointment at our Complication and Dissolution Clinic is the first step. Given the urgency of many complications, we prioritize appointments accordingly. While a referral is not mandatory, providing comprehensive details about your procedure enables us to tailor our approach effectively.

Treatment may commence during the initial consultation, but depending on the complexity, further sessions or follow-ups may be required. We often utilize ultrasound for precise localization of dermal filler complications and to guide dissolution procedures. Medication prescriptions may also be part of the treatment plan.

Skin-related issues, often stemming from laser treatments, are managed through a combination of prescription topicals, oral medications, injectables, and occasionally laser interventions. Our ethos mirrors that of our broader cosmetic practice, emphasizing a medical perspective and prioritizing safety above all else.
