Before deciding to get injected with a cosmetic wrinkle filler:
- Be aware that the safety of these products is unknown for use in pregnant or breastfeeding women or in patients under 18 years of age.
- Be aware that the safety is unknown when these products are used with Botox or other wrinkle therapies.
- Be aware that the safety of these fillers has only been studied when used in the face.
- Know the type of product that will be injected and all of its possible side effects.
- Discuss fillers with a doctor who can refer you to a specialist in the fields of dermatology and aesthetic plastic surgery.
- Select a doctor who is trained to do the procedure. (You may want to contact the American Academy of Dermatology at www.aad.org or the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery at www.surgery.org.)
- Have realistic expectations about the benefits you want to achieve and discuss them with your doctor.
