Adverse reactions to dermal fillers: a review of European experiences. Export

@article{citeulike:2619554, abstract = {BACKGROUND: In Europe, numerous dermal fillers have been utilized for the past decade. A lot of drawbacks have been reported and sometimes, severe complications occurred. OBJECTIVE: Our purpose is to report the clinical aspects of the adverse reactions following injections of some of the dermal fillers. Histological aspects of complications are also described. RESULTS: Adverse reactions secondary to biodegradable products are usually time limited, but with the non-biodegradable products, we have observed severe, persistent, and recurrent complications. Histological examinations, in cases of non-biodegradable products, may show the presence and persistence of the filler. CONCLUSION: For the moment, there is no ideal dermal filler. All fillers can lead to adverse events and we need to inform patients fully before injecting. Clinical studies with long-term follow-up before launching a new product on the market are recommended. We believe that in Europe, at present, the CE mark is not a guarantee of safety of dermal fillers.}, address = {pandre2@noos.fr}, author = {Andre, P. and Lowe, N. J. and Parc, A. and Clerici, T.
