"Cosmetic filler could lead to blindness and skin loss if it is injected incorrectly, experts have warned. Non-surgical procedures, such as fillers, are rising in popularity with nearly 10,000 performed by British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) members in 2024.

Cosmetic filler injections are increasingly common, with nearly 10,000 procedures performed by BAAPS members in 2024.

Clinics are being advised to perform ultrasounds before injections to map vessel location and reduce the risk of vascular occlusion. Non-surgical procedures carry rising safety concerns that require improved pre-procedure imaging and practitioner training.
