FDA about Fillers

FDA officials are concerned that fillers are being used for purposes they were never tested and approved for, such as plumping the lips, which are extremely sensitive.


There are also questions about a lack of clinical evidence on how darker-skinned patients fare with the beauty treatments. More black, Latino and Asian patients are trying plastic surgery, and some information suggests they may be susceptible to unsightly blotches and other complications from fillers.

"The trouble is that once this material is in the hands of physicians, there's really not much control over how it's used and where it's placed," said Dr. Scott Spear, a Washington plastic surgeon. "That creates the potential for a certain amount of mischief.

"But the good news is that, by and large, these are very safe materials," Spear added. "They have a very healthy risk profile."

After reading this you should be more concerned with your safety and NEVER ever consider going for treatment to anyone other than a Board Certified Cosmetic / Plastic Surgeon.  Dr. Potparic, is Board Certified and has treated 100's of patients.  Call our office for a free consultation, (954) 779-2777.
