injectable filler

An injectable cosmetic filler that smooths out facial wrinkles has been suspended from use after it was found to cause painful redness, bruising and swelling in some patients.    Novabel is marketed as “the gentle, powerful, versatile dermal shaper” by its manufacturer, Merz.

A new Health Canada report is warning of complications — including gangrene of the lip in one case — suspected of being associated with the most popular injectable wrinkle fillers on the market.
