疗程的风险

任何疗程，任何手术都会有风险。

不过若选择对的地点，对的医务人员为你进行疗程，那么后遗症，不良后果，甚至严重后果的风险可以减至最低。

在我们的社会，至今为止，卫生部正在进行着注册的程序，让那些有资格执行医美疗程的医生注册，以让公众可以查询，以获得更正确的咨询。

不过，至今依然没有直接的法律行为对付非医务人员进行医务疗程的行为。

除非发生重大的事故。

如上一个星期所发生的不幸事故。

真实情况还没有公布，不过就有人揣测可能是抽脂手术的后遗症，或隆胸手术的后遗症，不过怀疑是没有经过合格训练的医务人员，或者不是医务人员进行疗程。

如何可以把自己的健康安全放在不合格的手上？

是因为费用的问题吗？

你可知道若疗程出现问题或后遗症，所需要花费修正的费用是原本疗程费用的四倍以上？而且还赔上了时间精神和肉体上受到的伤害？

如果更不幸，就会赔上了一条无价的性命。

现在很多病人在咨询的时候都会询问，到底疗程安全不安全。

其实每一个疗程都会有风险，差别是在于我们会不会把风险减至最低，然后有没有能力修正。

所以，希望以后在选择进行疗程前，请好好思考。

什么东西是比金钱更重要的？

我们常常会说，其实金钱可以解决的问题，都不是问题。

反而是一些就算花钱也改变不了情况的，才是大问题。

如健康，如安全。

Important tips on dermal filler selection: Reversible if problematic

There is no one in this world who can promise you that the injection material and the injection technique will be the perfect one every time you undergo any procedure. You would like to know that when somethings goes wrong, your doctor would be happy to assist you with the correction without having to go through the knife.

  Permanent lip filler

Patient : Doc, i don’t like my lips, it’s getting bigger over time.

Doctor : Oh dear, you are the one in a million to have this reaction. I will schedule you for a lips filler removal operation. The cost is USD 20000, a discounted price.

Patient  : Why is the correction so much more expensive then the filler, you charged me USD 2000 2 years back?

Doctor  : ... ...

Many people fall trap into being prey of permanent / semi permanent filler. The injector may sell you the idea that permanent filler lasts longer and hence you do not need to undergo repeated injections. The fact is, human ages with time. No matter how permanent a filler is, volume loss is ongoing and there will be constant need for further volume replacement. Even after permanent filler injection, one would still require future volume touch up from time to time. So with and without permanent filler injections, one would still require the top up treatment. The apparent saving is not there.  

But what you were not told was the fact that once the permanent filler is injected into your body, your body will not have any mechanism to dissolve it. The permanent filler ended up staying in the body for the rest of one’s life. To remove it, one will have to seek the help of a plastic surgeon to remove it surgically. The process of filler removal is a tedious job and even in the best hands, the fillers may not be completely removed in toto. 

The other risk is, permanent filler is being recognized as foreign body and in some patients, it attracts inflammation. Chronic inflammation forms granulation tissues or scar tissue which increases the actual “volume” of the fillers over time. One may find the areas treated with permanent filler growing over time and the 

treated area may disfigure.  To rectify this problem, surgery, will be required.
