Dr Mobin Master - 'The latest evidence about filler longevity, aesthetic ultrasound, MRI scans & hyalase' #291

Episode 291 hosts Dr Mobin Master (Radiologist & Cosmetic Physician) from Gold Coast, Australia.

We hosted Mobin way back in episode 93 where we first discussed the use of ultrasound in aesthetics. So we re-visit the topic, 4 years on to dicuss Mobin's research and experience in managing patients with filler complications.

 

We discuss the evolution of ultrasound and the pros and cons of injectors trying to learn this technology. Mobin explains the relevance of facial MRI scans in his practice to identify chronic filler issues, including conditions like post-septal filler placement and malar edema. He emphasizes the importance of precision and low doses when using hyalase and discusses his approach to managing complications like vascular occlusions and delayed onset nodules. 

 

The conversation also touches upon the need for better training and patient management with complications, with practical advice for both novice and experienced injectors. We highlight the nuances in filler longevity and the realities of its impacts over time.
