Ultrasound scans detect serious health risks from cosmetic fillers

Ultrasound scans can identify serious health risks like blindness and stroke associated with cosmetic fillers, according to new research. The scans help pinpoint filler-induced blood vessel blockages, particularly in the nose, which can lead to tissue death or severe neurological events if untreated. This technology allows for more precise treatment of complications and could potentially be used preventatively during filler injections to improve patient safety.
