Periorbital Swellings Associated with Neurotoxin Injections

Abstract

Summary: Complications due to facial injectables such as neurotoxin injections can commonly occur and are underreported. Those complications may result from poor injection techniques, lack of proper knowledge about the anatomy, improper patient selection, and the use of counterfeit products. The lack of regulations, along with improper awareness, may jeopardize the quality of the aesthetic treatment provided to the patients. This case report helps in raising awareness about possible complications arising from the use of counterfeit products in the aesthetic industry.
