Injectable filler (injectable cosmetic filler, injectable facial filler) is a soft tissue filler made of polysaccharides injected into the skin at different depths.
They help fill in facial wrinkles, provide facial volume, and augment facial features. Side effects include bruising or infections from improper sterilisation. This may include HIV infection, also allergic reactions, which may cause scarring and lumps. Blindness due to retrograde (opposite the direction of normal blood flow) embolization into the ophthalmic and retinal arteries can occur.
