'It can cause a blood clot': Two people die after Botox injections

According to the Royal Belgian Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (RBSPS), at least two people have lost their lives following botox injections from a fake specialist in Belgium.

In recent years, with the rise of cosmetic surgery, dubious establishments have also emerged.

At least two people have died following an injection performed by a person who was not actually a cosmetic surgeon, according to 7 sur 7, which relays information from this Monday from the RBSPS.

Facial vein

According to Steven Colpaert, plastic surgeon at the RBSPS: “In the event of a bad injection, part of the lip or nose can die, or the view”, he explains. “The patient can even die if the filler is injected into a vein in the face that is connected to a vein in the brain”, he adds. “This can cause a blood clot, which leads to thrombosis.”

Complications are common, but such a tragedy has never occurred. On April 4, a woman from Nice received Botox injections in her face and neck by a fraudulent “specialist.” A few days after the injection, she could no longer swallow and had difficulty expressing herself. She was even fed through a gastric tube for days after the incident.
