  • Informed Consent for Dermal Fillers

  •  - -

  • The purpose of this informed consent form is to provide written information regarding the risks, benefits and alternatives of the procedure named above. This material serves as a supplement to the discussion you have with your doctor/healthcare provider. It is important that you fully understand this information, so please read this document thoroughly. If you have any questions regarding the procedure, ask your doctor/healthcare professional prior to signing the consent form.

    THE TREATMENT
    Treatment with dermal fillers (such as Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, Belotero, and others) can smooth out facial folds and wrinkles, add volume to the lips, and contour facial features that have lost their volume and fullness due to aging, sun exposure, illness, etc. Facial rejuvenation can be carried out with minimal complications. These dermal fillers are injected under the skin with a very fine needle. This produces natural appearing volume under wrinkles and folds which are lifted up and smoothed out. The results can often be seen immediately.

  • RISKS AND COMPLICATIONS
    Before undergoing this procedure, understanding the risks is essential. No procedure is completely risk-free. The following risks may occur, but there may be unforeseen risks and risks that are not included on this list. Some of these risks, if they occur, may necessitate hospitalization, and/or extended outpatient therapy to permit adequate treatment. It has been explained to me that there are certain inherent and potential risks and side effects in any invasive procedure and in this specific instance such risks include but are not limited to: 1) Post treatment discomfort, swelling, redness, bruising, and discoloration; 2) Post treatment infection associated with any transcutaneous injection; 3) Allergic reaction; 4) Reactivation of herpes (cold sores); 5) Lumpiness, visible yellow or white patches; 6) Granuloma formation; 7) Occlusion of vessels or even blindness.

  • PREGNANCY AND ALLERGIES
    I am not aware that I am pregnant. I am not trying to get pregnant. I am not lactating (nursing). I do not have or have not had any major illnesses which would prohibit me from receiving dermal fillers. I certify that I do not have multiple allergies or high sensitivity to medications, including but not limited to lidocaine.

  • PAYMENT
    I understand that this is an "elective” procedure and that payment is my responsibility and is expected at the time of treatment.

  • RIGHT TO DISCONTINUE TREATMENT
    I understand that I have the right to discontinue treatment at any time.

  • RESULTS
    Dermal fillers have been shown to be safe and effective when compared to collagen skin implants and related products to fill in wrinkles, lines and folds in the skin on the face. Its effect can last up to 6 months or greater depending on product used. Most patients are pleased with the results of dermal fillers use. However, like any esthetic procedure, there is no guarantee that you will be completely satisfied. There is no guarantee that wrinkles and folds will disappear completely, or that you will not require additional treatment to achieve the results you seek. The dermal filler procedure is temporary and additional treatments will be required periodically, generally within 4-6 months, involving additional injections for the effect to continue. I am aware that follow-up treatments will be needed to maintain the full effects. I am aware the duration of treatment is dependent on many factors including but not limited to: age, sex, tissue conditions, my general health and life style conditions, and sun exposure. The correction, depending on these factors, may last up to 6 months and in some cases shorter and some cases longer. I have been instructed in and understand the post-treatment instructions.

  • I understand this is an elective procedure and I hereby voluntarily consent to treatment with dermal fillers for facial rejuvenation, lip enhancement, establish proper lip and smile lines, and replacing facial volume. The procedure has been fully explained to me. I also understand that any treatment performed is between me and the doctor/healthcare provider who is treating me and I will direct all post-operative questions or concerns to the treating clinician. I have read the above and understand it. My questions have been answered satisfactorily. I accept the risks and complications of the procedure and I understand that no guarantees are implied as to the outcome of the procedure. I also certify that if I have any changes in my medical history I will notify the doctor/healthcare professional who treated me immediately. I also state that I read and write in English.

  • INFORMED CONSENT – BOTULINA TOXINS - BOTOX®,  Xeomin® and  Jeuveau®

    INSTRUCTIONS

    This is an informed-consent document which has been prepared to help your Nurse Practitioner or Nurse inform you concerning BOTOX®,Zimmerman or Devo injection of the wrist and alternative tretments.

    It is important that you read this information carefully and completely. Please initial each page, indicating that you have read the page and sign the consent for this procedure as proposed by your Nurse Practitioner and agreed upon by you.

    GENERAL INFORMATION

    Clostridia botulina bacteria produce a class of chemical compounds known as “toxins”. The Botulina Type A Toxin is processed and purified to produce a sterile product suitable for specific therapeutic uses. Once the diluted toxin is injected, it produces a temporary paralysis (chemodenervation) of muscle by preventing transmission of nerve impulses to muscle. The duration of muscle paralysis generally lasts for approximately three to four months.

    BOTOX®,  Xeomin® and Jeuveau®  injections are customized for every patient, depending on his or her particular needs. These can be performed in areas involving the eyelid region, forehead, and neck. BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® cannot stop the process of aging. It can however, temporarily diminish the look of wrinkles caused by muscle groups. BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® injections may be performed as a singular procedure or as an adjunct to a surgical procedure.

    ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS

    Alternative forms of management include not treating the skin wrinkles by any means. Improvement of skin wrinkles may be accomplished by other treatments or alternative types of surgery such as a blepharoplasty, face or brow lift when indicated. Other forms of eyelid surgery may be needed should you have intrinsic disorders affecting the function of the eyelid such as drooping eyelids from muscle problems (eyelid ptosis) or looseness between the eyelid and eyeball (ectropion). Minor skin wrinkling may be improved through chemical skin peels, lasers, injection of filling material, or other skin treatments. Risks and potential complications are associated with alternative forms of medical or surgical treatment.

    RISKS of BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® (Botulina Type A Toxin) Injections

    Every procedure involves a certain amount of risk and it is important that you understand these risks and the possible complications associated with them. In addition, every procedure has limitations. An individual’s choice to undergo a surgical procedure is based on the comparison of the risk to potential benefit. Although the majority of patients do not experience these complications, you should discuss each of them with your Nurse Practitioner to make sure you understand risks, potential complications, limitations, and consequences of BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® injections.

    Additional information concerning  may be obtained from the package-insert sheets available upon request.

    Incomplete Block: It is possible to not experience a complete block of desired muscles. Additional injections to reach the desired level of block can be performed until the goal is achieved.

    Asymmetry: The human face and eyelid region is normally asymmetrical with respect to structural anatomy and function. There can be a variation from one side to the other in terms of the response to BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® injections.

    Drooping Eyelid (Ptosis): Muscles that raise the eyelid may be affected by BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau®, should this material migrate downward from other injection areas.

    Pain: Discomfort associated with BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® injections is usually of short duration.

    Migration: BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® may migrate from its original injection site to other areas and produce temporary paralysis of other muscle groups or other unintended effects. BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® has been reported to cause swallowing problems in patients treated for spastic muscle disorders of the cervical region (cervical dystonia).

    Bleeding and Bruising: It is possible, though unusual, to have a bleeding episode from a BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® injection. Bruising in soft tissues may occur. Serious bleeding around the eyeball during deeper BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® injections for crossed eyes (strabismus) has occurred. Should you develop post-injection bleeding, it may require emergency treatment or surgery. Aspirin, anti-inflammatory medications, platelet inhibitors, anticoagulants, Vitamin E, ginkgo biloba, and other “herbs / homeopathic remedies” may contribute to a greater risk of a bleeding problem. Do not take these for ten days before or after BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® injections.

    Damage to Deeper Structures: Deeper structures such as nerves, blood vessels, and the eyeball may be damaged during the course of injection. Injury to deeper structures may be temporary or permanent.

    Corneal Exposure Problems: Some patients experience difficulties closing their eyelids after BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® injections and problems may occur in the cornea due to dryness. Should this rare complication occur, additional treatments, protective eye drops, contact lenses, or surgery may be necessary.

    INFORMED CONSENT – BOTULINA TOXINS - BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® INJECTION

    Unknown Risks: The long-term effect of BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® on tissue is unknown. The risk and consequences of accidental intravascular injection of BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® is unknown and not predictable. There is the possibility that additional risk factors may be discovered.

    Dry Eye Problems: Individuals who normally have dry eyes may be advised to use special caution in considering BOTOX injections around the eyelid region.

    Double-Vision: Double-vision may be produced if the BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® material migrates into the region of muscles that control movements of the eyeball.

    Eyelid Ectropion: Abnormal looseness of the lower eyelid can occur following BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® injections.

    Other Eye Disorders: Functional and irritative disorders of eye structures may rarely occur following BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® Injections.

    Blindness: Blindness is extremely rare after  injections. However, it can be caused by internal bleeding around the eyeball or needle stick injury. The occurrence of eye problems appears to be very rare.

    Allergic Reactions: As with all biologic products, allergic and systemic anaphylactic reactions may occur. Allergic reactions may require additional treatment.

    Antibodies to BOTOX®  and Xeomin®: Presence of antibodies to BOTOX may reduce the effectiveness of this material in subsequent injections. The health significance of antibodies to BOTOX is unknown.

    Infection: Infection is extremely rare after BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® injections. Should an infection occur, additional treatment including antibiotics may be necessary.

    Skin Disorders: Skin rash, itching, and swelling may rarely occur following BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® injection.

    Neuromuscular Disorders: Patients with peripheral motor neuropathic disorders (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis myasthenia gravis, motor neuropathies) may be at greater risk of clinically significant side effects from BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau®.

    Migraine Headache Disorders: BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® has been used to treat forehead muscle groups that are involved with the migraine headache condition. Patients are advised that results of BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® treatments for migraine headaches may be variable and improvement in this disorder may not occur following BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® treatments.

    Unsatisfactory Result: There is the possibility of a poor or inadequate response from BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® injections. Additional BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® injections may be necessary. Surgical procedures or treatments may be needed to improve skin wrinkles including those caused by muscle activity.

    Long-Term Effects: Subsequent alterations in face and eyelid appearance may occur as the result of aging, weight loss, weight gain, sun exposure, pregnancy, menopause, or other circumstances not related to BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® injections. BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® injections do not arrest the aging process or produce permanent tightening of the eyelid region. Future surgery or other treatments may be necessary.

    Pregnancy and Nursing Mothers: Animal reproduction studies have not been performed to determine if BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® could produce fetal harm. It is not known if BOTOX®  and Xeomin®  can be excreted in human milk. It is not recommended that pregnant women or nursing mothers receive BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® treatments.

    Drug Interactions: The effect of BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® may be potentiated by aminoglycoside antibiotics or other drugs known to interfere with neuromuscular transmission.

    GENERAL RISKS

    Bleeding: It is possible, though unusual, to experience a bleeding episode during or after procedure. Should post- operative bleeding occur, it may require emergency treatment to drain accumulated blood or you may require a blood transfusion, though such occurrences are rare. Increased activity too soon after procedure can lead to increased chance of bleeding and additional procedures. It is important to follow postoperative instructions and limit exercise and strenuous activity for the instructed time. Do not take any aspirin or anti-inflammatory medications for at least ten days before or after procedure, as this may increase the risk of bleeding. Non-prescription “herbs” and dietary supplements can increase the risk of surgical bleeding. Hematoma can occur at any time, usually in the first three weeks following injury to the procedural area. If blood transfusions are necessary to treat blood loss, there is the risk of blood-related infections such as hepatitis and HIV (AIDS). Heparin medications that are used to prevent blood clots in veins can produce bleeding and decreased blood platelets.

    Infection: Infection is unusual after procedure. Should an infection occur, additional treatment including antibiotics, hospitalization, or additional surgery may be necessary. It is important to tell your Nurse Practitioner of any other infections, such as ingrown toenail, insect bite, or urinary tract infection. Remote infections, infections in other parts of the body, may lead to an infection in the operated area.

    ADDITIONAL ADVISORIES

    Female Patient Information: It is important to inform your Nurse Practitioner if you use birth control pills, estrogen replacement, or if you suspect you may be pregnant. Many medications including antibiotics may neutralize the preventive effect of birth control pills, allowing for conception and pregnancy.

    Mental Health Disorders and Elective Procedure: It is important that all patients seeking to undergo elective procedure have realistic expectations that focus on improvement rather than perfection. Complications or less than satisfactory results are sometimes unavoidable, may require additional procedures and often are stressful. Please openly discuss with your Nurse Practitioner, prior to procedure, any history that you may have of significant emotional depression or mental health disorders. Although many individuals may benefit psychologically from the results of elective procedure, effects on mental health cannot be accurately predicted.

    Sun Exposure – Direct or Tanning Salon: The effects of the sun are damaging to the skin. Exposing the treated areas to sun may result in increased scarring, color changes, and poor healing. Patients who tan, either outdoors or in a salon, should inform their Nurse Practitioner and either delay treatment, or avoid tanning until the Nurse Practitioner says it is safe to resume. The damaging effect of sun exposure occurs even with the use of sun block or clothing coverage.

    Medications and Herbal Dietary Supplements: There are potential adverse reactions that occur as the result of taking over-the-counter, herbal, and/or prescription medications. Aspirin and medications that contain aspirin interfere with clotting and can cause more bleeding. These include non-steroidal anti-inflammatories such as Motrin, Advil, and Aleve. It is very important not to stop drugs that interfere with platelets, such as Plavix, which is used after a stent. It is important if you have had a stent and are taking Plavix that you inform the Nurse Practitioner. 

    Stopping Plavix may result in a heart attack, stroke and even death. Be sure to check with your physician about any drug interactions that may exist with medications which you are already taking. If you have an adverse reaction, stop the drugs immediately and call your Nurse Practitioner for further instructions. If the reaction is severe, go immediately to the nearest emergency room. When taking the prescribed pain medications after procedure, realize that they can affect your thought process and coordination. Do not drive, do not operate complex equipment, do not make any important decisions and do not drink any alcohol while taking these medications. Be sure to take your prescribed medication only as directed.

    Travel Plans: Any procedure holds the risk of complications that may delay healing and delay your return to normal life. Please let the Nurse Practitioner know of any travel plans, important commitments already scheduled or planned, or time demands that are important to you, so that appropriate timing of procedure can occur. There are no guarantees that you will be able to resume all activities in the desired time frame.

    INFORMED CONSENT – BOTULINA TOXINS - BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® INJECTION

    Off-Label FDA Issues: There are many devices, medications and injectable fillers and botulinum toxins that are approved for specific use by the FDA, but this proposed use is “Off-Label”, that is not specifically approved by the FDA. It is important that you understand this proposed use is not experimental and your physician believes it to be safe and effective. Examples of commonly accepted “Off-Label” use of drugs or devices include the use of aspirin for prevention of heart disease, retinoids for skin care, and injection of botulinum toxin for wrinkles around the eyes. BOTOX®  and Xeomin®   is approved for Glabellar frown lines, crow’s feet, forehead, marionette lines, infra brow, chin, neck, nasalis, masseter, Blepharospasm, and would be Off-Label for all other uses.

  • HEALTH INSURANCE

    Most health insurance companies exclude coverage for cosmetic surgical operations or any resulting complications. Please carefully review your health insurance subscriber-information pamphlet. Most insurance plans exclude coverage for secondary or revisionary procedure due to complications of cosmetic procedure.

    ADDITIONAL TREATMENT NECESSARY

    There are many variable conditions in addition to risk and potential complications that may influence the long-term result of BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau®  injections. Even though risks and complications occur infrequently, the risks cited are the ones that are particularly associated with BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® injections. 

  • Other complications and risks can occur but are even more uncommon. Should complications occur, additional procedures or other treatments may be necessary. The practice of medicine and procedural medicine is not an exact science. Although good results are expected, there is no guarantee or warranty expressed or implied, on the results that may be obtained.

    FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES

    The cost of BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® injection may involve several charges. This includes the professional fee for the injections, follow-up visits to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment, and the cost of the BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® material itself. It is unlikely that BOTOX®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® injections to treat cosmetic problems would be covered by your health insurance. The fees charged for this procedure do not include any potential future costs for additional procedures that you elect to have or require in order to revise, optimize, or complete your outcome. Additional costs may occur should complications develop from the injections and will also be your responsibility. In signing the consent for procedure, you acknowledge that you have been informed about its risks and consequences and accept responsibility for the clinical decisions that were made along with the financial costs of all future treatments.

    Botox® & Xeomin®

    Botox ® and Xeomin®  are both FDA approved to effectively treat undesirable wrinkles on patient’s faces.  Both products have very predictable results and are proven to enhance individual’s natural beauty. You, restored and fresh!

    The treatment is quick and easy with minimal down time. You will begin to notice results within 7-10 days and will last up to 3 months. Results are based on multiple factors. On average most patients receive 20 units in forehead, 20 units in glabellar area (above and between eye brows), and 20 in crow's feet area. Doses may vary depending on your specific treatment plan and muscle strength!  These products are both meant to relax the muscles in the face to stop you from making the lines from muscle movement (dynamic wrinkles).  These products DO NOT resurface the skin where wrinkles are present at rest (static lines).  These products will however stop these static lines from worsening.  Dermal filler in combination with these products will correct the undesired static wrinkles.  Don’t hesitate to ask questions!

    Pre-visit instructions:  Please adhere to COVID guidelines including social distancing an wearing a mask.  Mask is required unless actively being treated in that area.  If you have a fever, shortness of breath, cough, sore throat, loss of taste or smell, severe headache, or abdominal pain we will ask that you re-schedule.  We apologize for the inconvenience.

    Please refrain from using NSAIDS (Aleve, ibuprofen, Advil, meloxicam, etc), aspirin, as well as fish oil for 48 hours prior to appointment to reduce bruising.  If you are on anticoagulants (coumadin, Xarelto, Eliquis, etc) please do not stop those medications, but please understand the risk of bleeding and bruising are significantly increased.

    Post-visit instructions:  Keeping the neurotoxin in the space injected is critical and vital to achieve your desired results and reduce risk for complications such as droopy eyelid, eye brows, etc.  For the first 4 hours after injection, please avoid rubbing the areas injected as well as the surrounding areas.  If you must rub, only do so lightly and always rubbing up, not down.  You should also avoid frequent bending over such as doing laundry, dishes, painting, cooking, and so on.  Please avoid strenuous physical activity and stay upright for at least 4 hours after injection. No sleeping until 4 hours also!  Refrain from applying makeup and lotions/creams for at least 2 hours after injection to reduce irritation/infection.

    Alcohol: Alcohol increases risk of bleeding/bruising.  Please avoid consuming alcohol 48 hours before and after treatment for optimal results. 

    Most Common Side Effects:

    The most common side effects are injection site irritation (redness), mild discomfort, and bruising. Lightly applying ice is recommended.  The risk for infection is very low, however there is always a risk associated with any injection. Signs of infection include: increased redness, warmth, swelling, or any discharge.  Please notify Nurse Practitioner or healthcare provider immediately if this occurs.

    Rare Side Effects:

    Following the pre and post injection instructions helps to significantly reduce the risk of complications.  While complications are rare, patients might experience ptosis (drooping of the eyelid) as well as brow ptosis (dropping of eye brows).  Contact your Nurse Practitioner immediately if this occurs.  There may be options to help reduce this effect.  Neurotoxins are not reversible, however they are short term and will wear off with time.  If you have had complications in the past, please advise your injector prior to treatment.

    If you have questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to ask.   If you experience any adverse reactions or have a life threatening emergency, immediately call 911 or go to your nearest emergency department.

    I understand the Pre and Post Visit instructions are to optimize my results and reduce adverse outcomes.
