Abstract
- Filler injection is an extremely popular cosmetic procedure in Korea, but surprisingly few dermatologists are aware of the package inserts in filler products. In the era of legal dispute, it is important that we fully understand the indications, contraindications, and side effects of the individual filler products. The purpose of this paper is to provide a general overview of the contents of package inserts of filler products that are commercially available in Korea, especially in terms of the contraindications of filler injection. The authors emphasize that greater improvement in the Korean package inserts of filler products can be expected. Currently, practicing physicians are usually blamed for filler complications. We also found many significant translational errors. We hope that dermatologists take more interest in filler package inserts by reading this overview.
