Abstrakt: Introduction: The rising popularity of facial filler injections has corresponded with an increase in reported complications. While a filler emergency kit was previously introduced, advancements in the field have highlighted certain limitations, prompting the development of the updated filler emergency kit (UFEK). Methods: The authors conducted literature research up to February 2023, focusing on PubMed and open web searches for articles referred to filler emergent complications: vascular occlusion, blindness and anaphylaxis. Approximately 1200 articles were obtained from PubMed and other sources, and 45 articles were reviewed. Results: The developed UFEK protocol delineates specific interventions meticulously tailored to address diverse emergent scenarios linked to soft tissue fillers complications. This protocol emphasizes the urgent requirement for timely and personalized interventions. Conclusion: The UFEK offers a standardized, comprehensive and effective approach. This work contributes to the responsible and informed progression of the field of aesthetic medicine, providing more value and safety, both for clinicians and patients.
