Vascular occlusion is every clinician's worst nightmare. But are you familiar with the differences between arterial and venous occlusion?
In this week's Aesthetics Mastery Show, Dr Tim dives into how to avoid, diagnose and treat venous occlusion, including discussing the probability that dermal filler could cause a pulmonary embolism, or even blindness due to a venous thrombosis.
Let us know in the comments in you've ever experienced a venous occlusion from dermal filler.

Cheeks Vs Nasolabial Folds. Is It True That Cheeks Make NLFs Redundant? [Aesthetics Mastery Show]

Inexperienced practitioners sometimes chase the nasolabial folds, and patients can end up looking odd if their cheek volume loss is not also addressed.
Having said that, there is still a place for this important 'hinge treatment' as part of a holistic approach.
In this week's Aesthetic Mastery Show, Dr Tim discusses whether or not we should treat cheeks if the patient complains about their nasolabial folds; how to decide when it's appropriate; and the difference between men and women when tackling these areas.
We also dig into male cheek treatments; how to avoid feminising; why you must not give men luscious, full cheeks; and how to explain to the patient that you won't be feminising his cheeks.

Vascular Occlusion Nightmare: What If Patient's Allergic To Hyaluronidase? [Aesthetics Mastery Show]

It's the stuff of nightmares - you get a vascular occlusion, test your patient and find out that they're allergic to hyaluronidase!
As we discuss in this week's Aesthetic Mastery Show, you now have a very difficult decision to make. Do you proceed with the hyaluronidase reversal and risk anaphylaxis, or do you stand by and wait for the inevitable skin necrosis?
Some clinicians have developed a high-risk workaround strategy for this eventuality, but Dr Tim explains why it is not something he would recommend.
Indeed, before you even get to that stage, you first have to diagnose allergy to hyaluronidase which, as Dr Tim explains, is not as simple as doing an intradermal test.
