How do I report a filler problem to the FDA?

A guide about prices should also be plain about what a reader can do when a treatment goes wrong. If you had filler in the Rancho Cordova area and something is not right, there is a place to report it.

The short answer

The place to report it is the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which runs the MedWatch program. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says that if you have experienced a problem with a dermal filler product or other product regulated by the FDA, you can voluntarily report it to MedWatch, the FDA safety information and adverse event reporting program.

How to file

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration also states that you can file a voluntary report by phone at 1-800-FDA-1088 or online through the MedWatch program. The agency's Dermal Filler Do's and Don'ts is the page where its advice on fillers sits.

Other places to look

The California Board of Registered Nursing publishes a consumer page for readers who want to see what it offers the public.

Keeping it separate from the quote

A report is separate from any quote or bill you were given. Keep the quote, the receipt and any product details you were handed, so that the facts are in front of you when you file.
