Wrinkle Filler Risks

The FDA is meeting with a panel of outside experts tomorrow to see if additional warnings should be placed on dermal filler labels.

They've heard complaints from about 930 people who used some type of dermal filler in the past six years. Considering that last year alone about 1.4 million people received injections, this seems to be a relatively small number of negative health reports. But it's not clear what percentage of health complications end up reporting to the FDA.

"Among the reports, 19 were from people admitted to the emergency room for severe allergic reactions, 638 patients required treatment with medication, which included steroids, antihistamines and oral antibiotics. Also, 94 patients required surgical intervention (opening the abscesses, excision of nodules and biopsy of lesions), which included 44 that had also received drug therapy. The other reports did not include specific treatments for conditions."
