I want to receive filler in the safest way possible. Would a saline/HA mix help with safety?
Answer: Filler Question Dear zarazi,Based on our current information, dilution with fillers with saline will not reduce the chance of embolization. It may also make the injection less predictable due to the carrying potential of the saline.Best regards,Nirmal R. Nathan, M.D.

Answer: Thinning the filler with saline I often use lidocaine to thin out an HA filler if I am injecting very superficially so that it integrates more smoothly into the tissue. It is safer because superficial injections are less likely to cause fillers going into a blood vessel. However, if the thinned out filler is injected deeper into a vessel, it may actually be more likely to cause an embolism (travel further into the vessel) and cause serious complications like vision loss. I like using micro cannulas when injecting deeper.

Answer: Mixing HA with saline Thanks for your question.You are completely right to be cautious with filler injection as there is a rise in complications due to untrained injectors performing these treatments. Mixing the filler with saline would not make there treatment safer and it would also likely result in you not getting a result either.My advice would be to seek a qualified and experienced practitioner for any cosmetic work you wish to have

Answer: Filler Safety Hi, Thanks for your question. Diluting filler with saline will not increase the safety. Using blunt cannulas, slow-injection technique, and having a trained, qualified plastic surgeon to perform the injections can improve safety.

Answer: Dermal fillers and minimizing risk No, diluting the filler with saline will not reduce chances of occlusion in my opinion. Slow, low pressure injections using a 25 gauge or larger microcannula and treatment by an experienced injector will help minimize but not eliminate risk.
