Adverse events do occur. This chapter focus on unwanted results (when there is a result that is not appreciated by the patients and/or aesthetic physician) and real adverse events (like foreign body reactions in filler patients) and how to deal with them. One simple rule is: if something goes wrong – be accessible and empathic!
