title: Complications from toxins and fillers in the dermatology clinic: recognition, prevention, and treatment.
abstract: Adverse reactions and unintended effects can occasionally occur with toxins for cosmetic use, even although they generally have an outstanding safety profile. As the use of fillers becomes increasingly more common, adverse events can be expected to increase as well. This article discusses complication avoidance, addressing appropriate training and proper injection techniques, along with patient selection and patient considerations. In addition to complications, avoidance or amelioration of common adverse events is discussed.
