All treatments require a formal consultation with Dr Omarjee prior to any treatment. During this consultation, patients' concerns are carefully assessed, and a personalised treatment plan is developed. This includes discussing the nature of the proposed treatment(s), alternative treatments, potential risks and relevant complications, aftercare instructions, and the costs involved. It also allows time for patients to ask questions.
Dr Ed Omarjee continues to expand his technical knowledge by investing in technology that supports cosmetic medicine and assists in planning. This technology can be applied in aesthetic facial treatments for volume loss, which may be considered for concerns such as changes in the cheeks, lips, nose, jawline, or chin. As with any procedure, there are potential risks and complications, and these will be discussed in detail during your consultation.
Risks of Aesthetic Facial Treatments for Volume Loss
When considering aesthetic facial treatments for volume loss, it is important to understand the potential risks. Complications may occur if treatments are performed by someone without the necessary training and qualifications.
One possible complication is vascular occlusion, which happens when the product is placed in or around a blood vessel, reducing or blocking blood flow. This requires urgent medical attention. If left untreated, vascular occlusion can cause tissue damage and, in severe cases, may even result in blindness.
The Clarius LD20 facial ultrasound can assist by allowing visualisation of facial anatomy, helping with treatment planning, and supporting the safe use of dissolving agents in cases where vascular occlusion needs to be managed.
Although the risk of vascular occlusion is considered low, it is important to be aware of it. Each patient has unique vascular anatomy, and the use of ultrasound can provide additional guidance before, during, and after treatment.
