Each modern cosmetologist has in its arsenal a large range of drugs for contour plastic, in particular fillers, which are also called “beauty injections”. However, there are frequent cases when women make injections on their own, buying certain drugs in the public domain. What is threatening, Aif.ru tells Plastic surgeon George Karapetyan.
Just an injection and that’s it?
Unfortunately, today we often hear about the negative consequences to which the appeal for cosmetic assistance to the unscrupulous, which does not have the appropriate education to “specialists”, providing rejuvenation services, including making the so -called “beauty injections”. People tend to underestimate the risks associated with the conduct of such procedures, so they seek to “save” on campaigns to a specialist, addressing the dubious services of pseudo -professional. And with the advent of fillers in free sale and without recipes, those that decide to experiment on their health appeared and make themselves “beauty injections” on their own.
Perhaps “connoisseurs” seems that it is possible, without a medical education, it is easy to learn how to do intramuscular, intravenous, subcutaneous injections. But! Without special knowledge and skills, this turns into a roulette with life. It is necessary to remember everyone that the independent administration of any drug is associated with the trauma of the skin, subcutaneous structures, blood vessels, nerves, which carries the risk of complications and irreparable consequences up to death.
The main risk is the thrombosis of the venous vessels
The most common correction zones using injection are the nasolabial triangle and lips, which is understandable. Active facial expressions leads to the formation of nasolabial folds and labeling wrinkles, as well as wrinkles around the mouth. Of course, any woman, regardless of age, wants to have more voluminous, with the outlined edges of the lips, because this is the most attractive and sensual part of our face. However, the region of the nasolabial triangle has a special anatomy and the structure of the vessels, in particular the venous network.
Due to internal anastomoses, blood from this area directly penetrates the brain, and any interventions, especially unprofessional ones, can be fraught with a variety of negative consequences. For example, there are cases when, after an attempt to squeeze on the face in the zone of the nasolabial triangle a furunculus, a person has a stroke and a fatal outcome. The reason is venous brain thrombosis. It causes thrombus of one or more venous vessels in the brain, which leads to the onset of severe complication or death of the patient.
Beauty injections performed in this zone are extremely dangerous in the hands of self -taught. If the drug accidentally enters the vessel, then there is a high probability of a thrombus that can enter the brain with the corresponding consequences. As for other zones, for example, the zones around the eyes, the introduction of anti-aging drugs without experience and knowledge can lead to blindness, purulent-non-chorotic complications with loss of skin and soft tissues of the face, etc. Therefore, in principle, introduce anything yourself, Even if this is a well -known and high -quality medication, it is definitely not worth it.
In order to make injections, it is necessary to study at least 2-3 years in a medical educational institution, with the study of anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, aseptic principles and antiseptics. After all, an infection is no less formidable. It is known that millions of people on Earth die from bacterial and viral infection. As a result of any injection due to damage to the protective barrier (skin), with non-observance of the principles of aseptic and antiseptics, there is a huge risk (up to 70%!)
About the quality of drugs
In addition to injection technique, the quality of the drugs used is also important. In my opinion, in modern realities, buying medicines independently, a person acquires a “cat in a bag”. He cannot verify their authenticity, check the license and get acquainted with all the necessary documents. In addition, the buyer does not know whether these drugs were stored and transported correctly. Today, cosmetics are not equated with medicinal. However, if any drug is injected, then this belongs to the category of drugs, which means that their sale and storage requires an appropriate license.
It is still problematic to verify the presence of such a license, therefore, other risks associated with the independent administration of the drug are added to the already mentioned risks regarding the quality of the anti -aging agent.
Other subtleties and nuances
Suppose nothing terrible happened. A woman was able to independently introduce herself a rejuvenating agent without receiving any complications. But she thinks about them in the last turn, and her main goal is an aesthetics, achieving a visible and beautiful result. And here risks are possible. Without appropriate experience and knowledge, the risk of uneven administration of the drug, as well as introducing an inconsistent depth, can lead to the fact that hillocks, and of different sizes, will appear on the skin or under the skin. Lips can become disproportionate, having different volume.
That is, there is a result, it is noticeable to both the woman itself and others, but it does not correspond to the standards of beauty or personal criteria. A professional, and it does not matter if he performs rhinoplasty, whether fillers introduces into the lips or corrects nasolabial wrinkles, does it with jewelry accuracy. His work is invisible to others. That is, patients see the final result – a small symmetrical nose, voluminous lips or the lack of nasolabial folds, without the risk of irreparable complications. This is the difference between the work of a professional and a pseudo -specialist.
Therefore, you should think carefully before you make your own injections of beauty. To correct the result, there can be a lot of time and money, and not all experts are able to correct a number of formidable complications.
