Are Dermal Fillers Safe? What You Need to Know

One of the most common questions we hear is: “Are fillers safe?” And the answer is yes — when used properly and by a qualified provider.

What Makes Fillers Safe?

Most dermal fillers used today are FDA-approved and made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body. They are biodegradable, reversible, and well-tolerated by most people.

Risks Exist — But They’re Rare

Like any medical procedure, there are risks, such as:

• Swelling or bruising at the injection site
• Temporary asymmetry
• Allergic reaction (very rare)
• Vascular complications (extremely rare, but serious)

That’s why it’s essential to see a licensed, experienced professional — especially one with a deep understanding of facial anatomy.
