ABSTRACT

Treating patients with dermal fillers needs a thorough and continuous reassessment of practices to improve the ongoing and rapidly evolving aesthetic medicine and safeguard the patient’s health. Crucial criteria are considered, including patient selection, filler knowledge and suboptimal injection approaches and techniques. To achieve this target, updated 10-point plans were forwarded in the field of non-surgical rhinoplasty and aesthetic medicine. This plan is conceived to reduce the patient’s involvement in undergoing complications associated with filler products or the surgeon’s maneuvers and also to assess that the patient’s health status does not promote any further side effects due to previous hampering conditions, such as skin pathologies, systemic or chronic diseases, medications and previous cosmetic treatments. The assessment of this wide panel of possible complications, to be completely prevented before any filler treatment, needs to update and make affordable, feasible and straightforward the current available devices and planning procedures to improve filler injections and aesthetic outcome, completely safeguarding patients’ health.
