Complications Flashcards
High risk areas for vascular occlusion
Glabella
Forehead
Nose
Periocular
Perinasal
Temple
Vasovagal physiology
bradycardia
hypotension
arterial vasodilation
autonomic neural response
hypothalamic activation from stress or pain
Anaphylaxis adrenaline dose
500mcg of 1:100 (1mg/ml) IM
can be repeated after 5 minutes up to 3 times
Bruising risk factors (5)
antiplatelet
anticoagulant
NSAIDs
Vitamine E
High doses of garlic
Botox complication (non-cosmetic)
headache
Flu like symptoms
Cause of diploplia
lateral rectus palsy
lateral canthal injection diffusion
Cause of blurred vision
lower eyelid laxity stopping draining of tears
Cause of dry eyes
diffusion of toxin into lacrimal gland from deep periorbital injection
Causes of lower eye lid ectropiom
infraoribtital toxin causing lack of tone in palpebral portion
urgent opthalmology referral required to prevet corneal damage
Symptoms of systemic toxin overdose
dysphagia
slurred speech
muscle weakness
resp muscle paresis
Causes of toxin treatment faulure
Inproper product storage
true patient resistance
Inappropriate use - static lines
Calcium channel antagonist
Correcting medial brow ptosis
assess if there is still medial corrugator activity
if yes treat between 2-4 weeks to counterbalance medial frontalis fibre treatment
Managing adverse outcome
Document - identify reason for outcome
Liase with GP in needed
Refer to specialist services if needed
Make plan for continued care/ further review

Description of adverse events
Common reactions that have persisted
Rare
Moderate to severe effects
Anaphylaxis, necrosis, vascular compromise, scarring
Complication severity
Low - unlikely to result in complication, internvention unlikely
Moderate - may have complication, monitor
Major - immediate intervention essential
Examples of delayed filler complication (5)
Product migration
inflammatory nodules/granulomas
Oedema
Hypersensitivity related swelling
Chronic Infection
HSV activation
Examples of Early filler complications (5)
Infection
Swelling
Nerve damage
Tyndall effect
Muscle/expression change
HSV activation
Examples of immediate Filler complications (5)
Vascular event
Anaphylaxis
Bleeding
Vasovagal episode
Skin changes
Factors for nodule formation
Disease that creates immune mediated response
e.g Influenza
Anterograde embolism vs retrograde
Distally to terminal arteries
vs
Moves in opposition to blood flow
Venous complications
Congestion and compartment syndrome
Where are the labial arteries most at risk
In the midline - higher risk of subctaneous arteries
