COMPLICATIONS IN FACIAL AESTHETIC PROCEDURES: Recognition, prevention, documentation, and safe referral

Managing complications in facial aesthetics requires more than knowing possible treatments. It requires early recognition, appropriate triage, accurate documentation, ethical communication, and an understanding of when urgent referral or emergency transfer is necessary.

In this fully updated edition, Nathalia Bettio, DDS, MSc, presents an evidence-informed and responsible overview of the main adverse events associated with facial aesthetic procedures. The content has been completely restructured for an international audience, incorporating current scientific literature, clinical consensus, and relevant FDA and Anvisa considerations.

Across 16 chapters, readers will explore:

• Prevention and patient-safety principles

• Initial assessment and urgency classification

• Local, inflammatory, and infectious reactions

• Early and delayed nodules

• Persistent edema and hypersensitivity reactions

• Vascular compromise and warning signs

• Visual and neurological emergencies

• Adverse events involving fillers, botulinum toxin, threads, and energy-based devices

• Referral criteria and multidisciplinary care

• Ethical patient communication

• Product traceability, documentation, and follow-up

• Triage pathways, checklists, clinical scenarios, and record templates

Rather than offering universal prescriptions, this eBook helps professionals organize their clinical reasoning, distinguish expected post-procedure findings from warning signs, and respond within the limits of their training and professional scope.

The material includes 50 pages, 25 scientific references, a navigable table of contents, alert boxes, practical forms, and clear clinical terminology for study and consultation.
