The management of dermal filler complications.
Injectable fillers have gained widespread acceptance among the public and provide a nonsurgical means of rejuvenating the face. As the demand for fillers increases, facial plastic surgeons must become not only expert injectors but also experts in managing the complications of fillers.

The purpose of this article is to review the most commonly encountered complications and management thereof.
