About this episode
Disasters and Solutions looks at unusual, difficult or outright disastrous outcomes caused by injectables. We speak to the injectors involved, go through what happened step by step, and learn what might have prevented it and how injectors can practise more safely.
Brittony Croasdell is a highly experienced injector, trainer and international speaker who has mentored hundreds of injectors through the Allergan Medical Institute (AMI) and the Galderma Aesthetic Injector Network (GAIN). She is also a board member of the Complications in Medical Aesthetics Collaborative (CMAC).

We cover the anatomy of eyelid ptosis, managing patient emotions and trust, referral decisions, legal and insurance considerations, prevention through technique, consent, treatment options and their risks, and training staff to handle complications.
