  • I consent to sharing of information with my GP where necessary.
  • Dermal Fillers consent Form Dermal fillers are used for the treatment of facial creases, wrinkles, folds, contour defects, depression scars, facial lipoatrophy (loss of fat) and enhancement purposes. These treatments involve multiple injections of filler into or below the skin to fill wrinkles and restore volume. The effects of dermal fillers are temporary and no guarantees can be made regarding how long correction will last in a specific patient. Alternatives to temporary fillers include, but are not limited to: permanent dermal fillers, laser resurfacing and skin tightening, surgical facelift or no treatment at all. Possible risks, side-effects, and complications with dermal fillers include but are not limited to:

    • Bruising, redness and swelling
    • Visible raised areas or bumpiness at/around the treated site
    • Asymmetry, over correction or under correction.
    • Unpredictable persistence of filler, either shorter or longer than anticipated
    • Prolonged discolouration of the skin such as brown, greyish, bluish or reddish colouration. 
    • Filler material may be extruded from the skin in rare cases
    • Prolonged or severe swelling Infection
    • Rarely granulomas or firm nodules may form
    • Benign tumour formation (keratoacanthomas)
    • Allergic reaction with itchiness, redness and in extremely rare cases generalised allergic response such as a whole body swelling, respiratory problems and shock
    • Scarring is extremely rare Skin breakdown or ulceration
    • Tissue necrosis is extremely rare
    • Blindness
  • Botox Consent Form Injection of botulinum toxin causes weakness of targeted muscles, which can last approximately 2-4 months and over this time the effects will diminish. Injection of small amounts of botulinum toxin relaxes the treated muscles and can reduce facial wrinkles such as frown lines. It is injected with a small needle into the targeted muscles. Effects are typically seen in a few days and can take 1-2 weeks to fully develop.

    For most complications associated with Botox there are no corrective treatments and they spontaneously resolve as botulinum toxin effects diminish. 

    Botulinum toxin-related side effects can include, but are not limited to:

    • Localised burning or stinging pain during injection
    • Blepharoptosis (droopy eyelid)
    • Eyebrow ptosis (droopy eyebrow)
    • Ectropian of the lower eyelid (eyelid margin eversion)
    • Lagophthalmus (incomplete eyelid closure)
    • Xerophthalmia (dry eyes)
    • Epiphora (excess tearing) Diplopia (double vision)
    • Impaired blink reflex Photophobia (light sensitivity)
    • Globe trauma Infraorbital festooning (worsening of eyebags)
    • Lip ptosis with resultant smile asymmetry
    • Oral incompetence with resultant drooling and impaired speaking, eating or drinking
    • Cheek flaccidity Dysarthria (difficulty articulating)
    • Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing)
    • Hoarseness Neck weakness
    • Facial asymmetry, alteration or poor aesthetic result
    • Inadequate reduction of wrinkles or lack of intended effect in the treatment area
    • Worsening wrinkles in areas adjacent to the treatment area
    • Weakening muscles adjacent to the treatment area
    • Autoantibodies against botulinum toxin. Autoantibodies may be present or develop after injection, rendering treatments ineffective (1-2% of patients treated for cosmetic indications)
    • Extremely rare, immediate hypersensitivity reaction with signs of urticaria, oedema and a remote possibility of anaphylaxis
    • General Injection-related complications (can be any treatment):
      • Pain
      • Bruising
      • Erythema
      • Oedema
      • Tenderness
      • Headache
      • Infection
      • Numbness or paresthesia
      • Anxiety
      • Vasovagal episode and loss of consciousness
  • BOTOX PRE-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS

    •To minimize the possibility of bruising, non-essential blood-thinning medications or supplements should be discontinued for 10-14 days prior to treatment if possible. These include aspirin, ibuprofen, Advil, Motrin, Midol, Aleve, Excedrin, Alka-Seltzer, vitamin E, green tea, garlic, gingko biloba, ginseng, and St. John’s wort. Please note that if you have been prescribed aspirin or another blood thinning medication such as Plavix or Coumadin for medical reasons, do NOT discontinue these medications. Please be advised the bruising does not affect the success of treatment.

    •BOTOX® injections are generally very well tolerated with minimal discomfort. The use of a topical anesthetic is optional and generally not required. If you wish to apply a topical anesthetic at home, please notify your physician for a prescription.

    •If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or trying to become pregnant, please alert your physician, as you are not a candidate at this time.

    •If you are unable to keep your appointment, please call (441)236-9375 to cancel or reschedule. Patients will be charged for any missed appointment that is not cancelled at least 48 business hours in advance.

    BOTOX POST-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS

    •Do not lie flat for at least four hours after your treatment. After four hours, you may resume your normal activities, however, avoid any exercise for at least 24 hours.

    •Do not touch, massage, or in any way manipulate the injection sites. To minimize redness and bruising, avoid anything that will make your face or body flush such as direct sunlight, exercise, alcohol, hot showers, or spicy foods for 24 hours. If bruising does occur, it will go away in several days.

    •You may apply cool water compresses to the treatment sites if they are uncomfortable or red.

    •If you develop a headache, Tylenol is permissible. Do not take aspirin or ibuprofen as these agents may increase the risk of bruising.

    •To enhance the uptake of BOTOX®, contract the muscles in the treated area frequently for two to three hours after treatment.

    •As every patient has a different facial anatomy, asymmetry of the treatment result can occur with BOTOX® injections. Sometimes the correction is less than what you had expected, or wanes quicker than you had expected. Additional treatments may be required to try to meet your expectations. Please call our office to be seen for follow-up should any of these concerns arise.

    •If you develop a droopy eyebrow or eyelid, do not be alarmed. This uncommon side effect is not serious. You should call our office, as there are eye drops that can be prescribed which will alleviate this problem. This problem generally resolves in several weeks to several months. If you experience any signs or symptoms that you are concerned about, please do not hesitate to call Toothworx at (441)236-9375.
