Ultrasound for Dermal Filler Complications:
Why EQLibrium Leads the UK in Safe Corrective Aesthetics
Harley Street, London
• Chertsey, Surrey
Dermal fillers have transformed modern aesthetics, offering subtle enhancement, contouring and
rejuvenation without surgery.
But alongside this rapid growth has come an increasing number of complications, especially for
clients treated in non-medical
environments or by inexperienced injectors.
At EQLibrium, with clinics based on Harley Street, London, and in Chertsey, Surrey, we have
become a leading destination
for patients who require expert corrective treatment after fillers have gone wrong. Our reputation is
built on safety, medical
precision, advanced diagnostics, and science-backed practice — and at the centre of this is our use
of aesthetic ultrasound.
Ultrasound is now widely recognised as the gold standard for assessing, diagnosing, and treating
dermal filler complications.
It allows us to visualise exactly what lies beneath the skin, locate filler, identify problems, and safely
perform guided dissolving.
Understanding Dermal Filler Complications
The complications we see most often at EQLibrium include:
- Lumps or nodules
- Filler migration
- Tissue plane issues
- Swelling that doesn’t resolve• Asymmetry & irregular texture
- Vascular complications
- Legacy filler from previous treatments
These issues are impossible to fully diagnose by eyesight alone. Even the most experienced
practitioners cannot reliably know
what is happening beneath the surface without imaging. This is where ultrasound becomes
essential.
Why Ultrasound Is Essential in Modern Aesthetic Safety
- Accurate Visualisation
Ultrasound imagery shows where filler is, how deep it sits, whether it has migrated, and whether
older filler remains.
- Identifying Vascular Risk
Ultrasound enables us to check perfusion, identify compression or blockage, and detect filler inside
or around a vessel.
- Targeted Dissolving
Ultrasound allows accurate dissolving exactly where filler sits, reducing trauma and improving
outcomes.
- Diagnosing Hidden Filler
Ultrasound can identify old or misplaced filler from previous treatments.
- Reducing Further Risk
Every decision becomes safer when guided by imaging.
