As an aesthetics practitioner, no matter how advanced you are, there's always a risk of complications. This is why it's so important to be trained in how to deal with any complications that occur. With my years of industry experience, I have noted vascular occlusions can present very differently in real life, than in textbook studies that we're taught. This case study shows how a vascular occlusion has developed from cheek filler.
