Takeaways
Complications from cosmetic procedures can be seen in the ER, and it is important to choose qualified providers who prioritize patient safety.
Fake Botox can lead to botulism, which presents with symptoms such as drooping eyelids, double vision, and difficulty swallowing.
Filler complications, such as occlusions, require immediate treatment with hyaluronidase and most ERs are not equipped to treat them.
Liposuction complications can include over-sedation, aspiration, and infected seromas, highlighting the importance of proper anesthesia and post-operative care.
Patients should research and choose providers who are licensed, trained, and experienced in the specific procedures they are seeking. Physicians should consider the holistic well-being of their patients and provide thorough explanations and education about procedures.
Effective communication and clear explanations are crucial in ensuring patient understanding and satisfaction.
Green Dot, a virtual concierge acute care practice, aims to improve access to healthcare and reduce costs by providing personalized and direct care from board-certified emergency physicians.
