Hyaluronic Filler Informed Consent Dr. Edmund Fisher dba Lüz Lounge The Hyaluronic Acid fillers mentioned above are sterile gels consisting of non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid for injection into the skin to correct facial lines, wrinkles and folds in the United States. In addition to these indications, Hyaluronic Acid has been used to enhance the appearance & fullness of lips in over 60 other countries. My practitioner has explained the use of & indication for the Hyaluronic Acid fillers to me. I have had the opportunity to have all questions answered to my satisfaction. I have been specifically informed of the following: after the injection some common injection-related reactions might occur, such as swelling, redness, pain, itching, bruising, skin discoloration and tenderness at the implant sight. They typically resolve spontaneously within 2-3 days after injection into the skin and within a week after injection into the lips. Other types of reactions are very rare, but about 1 in 5,000 treated patients have experienced localized reactions thought to be of a hypersensitivity nature. These have usually consisted of swelling at the implant site, sometimes affecting the surrounding tissues. Redness, tenderness, and rarely acne-like formations have also been reported. The onset of these reactions has occurred one to several weeks after the initial treatment. The average duration of the effect is 2 weeks. Severe reactions are rarely reported including vascular occlusion which may result in scarring and blindness My practitioner has also informed me that, depending on the area treated, skin type, and the injection technique, the effect of a treatment can last 6 months or even longer. (Lips: approximately 4-6 months), but that in some cases the duration of the effect can be shorter or even longer. Touchup and follow-up treatments help sustain the desired degree of correction. I am requesting Hyaluronic Acid to be used for cosmetic facial augmentation. This filler is a nonanimal stabilized hyaluronic acid gel substance. Hyaluronic acid is an important structural element in human skin and tissue. It acts by adding volume to the tissue, shaping the contours of the face, correcting folds and enhancing the lips. The type of filler you will need is determined by the corrections you wish to make to your face. As with any medical procedure, you should be aware of the safety issues and restrictions associated with this treatment. With any injection procedure there are risks of infections, lumpiness, redness, swelling, pain, itching, discoloration or tenderness at the implant site. Typically resolution occurs within 2-3 days after the injection. Hypersensitivity has been reported in 1 in 5000 treated patients. This consists of excessive swelling and firmness and is usually self resolved in about two weeks. If I choose to have topical anesthesia applied I understand all risk associated with topical anesthesia are possible including allergic reaction, swelling, irritation, and in large quantities overdose which can result in death. I will not drink alcohol for 24 hours after injection. I understand I cannot have any dental procedures, including routine cleanings, for two weeks prior and two weeks after injectable filler treatment. I understand the common, expected adverse effects: needle marks, bruising, redness, swelling, acute severe lip swelling, transient lumpiness and asymmetry. I understand that there is a risk of hypersensitivity reaction , vascular occlusion, epidermal necrosis, blindness, infarction, or embolic phenomena. I will notify my physician immediately if there is ongoing or worrisome red or purple discoloration, tingling, or burning sensation. I will not expose the treated area to heat, such as sunbathing or tanning booths. I may be dissatisfied with the results. I should not receive this treatment if I have unattainable expectations. I understand that multiple treatments may be necessary to achieve desired results. Touch up treatments may be necessary to maintain desired results. No guarantee, warranty, or assurance has been made to me as to the results that may be obtained. Clinical results will vary per patient. No refunds will be given for treatments received. I understand that any rescheduling must be done 72 hours before my treatment. I understand that the use of the fillers may be use "off label" from the FDA cleared uses, based on the practitioners discretion and to achieve aesthetic goals. By signing the consent, I also consent to the use of hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down filler which is to be used in case of emergencies such as vascular occlusion or blindness. I understand that there will be loss of volume and there can be some skin laxity which in itself may not provide a good aesthetic result. Although some of the effects can be immediate, I understand it can take up to 24-48 hours for reversal to be seen and the treatment may need to be repeated. What are the possible side effects of hyaluronidase? Allergic reactions: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Less serious side effects may include pain, itching, redness, or swelling where the medication was injected. This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur.
