Dr. Spero Theodorou’s Recent Study Raises Safety Concerns about Dermal Fillers

Dr. Spero Theodorou, Founder and Surgical Director of bodySCULPT^®, has presented a study that raises significant concerns about dermal fillers, emphasizing potential long-term issues and their impact on the immune system. His study reveals a link between dermal fillers and lymphatic blockages, which poses a threat to immune system functionality. Dr. Theodorou halted dermal filler offerings at his practice after finding that blocked lymphatics could compromise immune response. The study, presented at a plastic surgeons’ conference, utilized a SPY camera to track injected dye movement in lymphatic channels. Dr. Theodorou stresses the difficulty of complete filler removal, and the ethical responsibility to share the new findings. While Dr. Theodorou urges awareness, varying expert opinions add complexity to the safety debate.
