Dr Cormac Convery - 'Disasters & Solutions (Chapter 1) - Unregulated botulinum toxin complications' #164

Season 1 · Episode 164

jeudi 31 mars 2022 • Duration 01:23:40

Episode 164 hosts Dr Cormac Convery, a GP & Cosmetic Physician based in Ayrshire, Scotland.

In this new mini-series called ‘Disasters & Solutions’, we’ll be looking at some of the unusual, difficult or outright disasterous outcomes for patients caused by injectables.

We’ll speak to the injectors who managed a difficult case and go through what happened, step by step. We’ll learn about what might have been done to prevent the problem and what injectors can do in their own practice to be safer practitioners.

In Chapter 1, we discuss a case concerning a patient who was treated and injured by a non-medical injector with a likely imported and unregulated botulinum toxin. As the story unfolds, we learn she was one of at least nine similarly injured patients by the same injector.
