Mistakes during contouring, leading to the development of unpleasant side effects, can be both general and specific.
The most common errors are associated with an insufficiently complete patient history, when a lack of information about his diseases or past procedures can cause complications after facial contouring.
Another common – the appointment of contouring not according to indications, when, due to the condition of the skin or other reasons, the procedure does not give the expected effect, and the patient is dissatisfied with the result.

Some side effects after facial contouring
Side effects of facial contouring that cause discomfort to the patient and can lead to complications may be due to the characteristics of the drugs used for injection and the nature of the procedure itself.
Hypocorrection. By and large, it is not a mistake, although sometimes it causes complaints from the patient about an insufficiently pronounced effect. Easily eliminated by an additional drug administration.
Hypercorrection. If a patient is very dissatisfied with the result of facial contouring, which was performed with a filler with hyaluronic acid, then this the side effect can be corrected by injecting hyaluronidase into the site of the overfilled filler. In any case, after a while, the hyaluronic acid molecules begin to spontaneously disintegrate, and the effect of overcorrection is leveled.
Insufficient insertion of filler. When it comes to too superficial injection of hyaluronic acid, swelling and tourniquets may occur at the injection sites. You can try to thoroughly stretch the injection site or try to remove excess drug from the injection site.
Doctor's mistake when correcting periorbital zone when the filler was injected too superficially, is fraught for the patient with prolonged swelling of the eyelids.
If the calcium hydroxyapatite filler has not been inserted deep enough, white stripes will appear at the injection site. Unfortunately, this cannot be corrected, it remains only to wait for the biodegradation of the filler.
Peculiarities of working with stable biopolymers in facial contouring
The use of stable polymers requires especially high attention from the doctor, since these preparations do not dissolve in the skin, and it will be possible to correct the mistake made only in case of hypocorrection – add some more filler.
Disadvantages of biopolymers, which should be kept in mind by a doctor who starts working with them, are as follows:
- able to migrate;
- may cause severe swelling at the injection site;
- sometimes cause granulomas;
- provoke ischemic phenomena in the skin.
When overcorrection with stable biopolymers or obtaining an asymmetric result, it will be very difficult to correct the error, therefore, a high professional level of facial contouring is required to work with them.
You can try to remove the biopolymer by interstitial administration of hormonal preparations, but they cause tissue atrophy. Surgical removal can be tried, but there are surgical risks and there is absolutely no guarantee of a perfect result.
If a patient, before the procedure of facial contouring, tells that he has recently been injected with a filler, but he does not remember its name, it is very important to find out by questioning whether a biopolymer has been delivered, since in this case the introduction of other drugs into this area is not indicated.
If the patient, who came "from another specialist" it was previously promised that the filler was introduced for some time, then you should wait for it to completely dissolve and only then proceed with facial contouring so as not to provoke a complication.
