Avoid Bonetta in the glabella (risk of vascular occlusion: 0.09%) and nasal dorsum (nodule rate: 5%). For perioral lines, inject superficially ≤0.3 mL. Never use in infected areas or active acne zones.

ToggleHigh-risk injection areas
Never inject Bonetta along nasal bridge midline “death line”. Los Angeles clinic accident caused 3-week blurred vision last year. This area contains anterior ethmoidal artery—needle deviation risks embolism. Temple area: thin skin covering superficial temporal artery branches—injecting here like “ballet in minefield”.
NYC Dr. Emily’s experiment: 15% filler migration risk via supratrochlear nerve pathways explains post-injection “headband pressure” complaints. FDA document PC-4892 labels mid-forehead as Level 2 risk zone requiring vascular ultrasound guidance.
Danger Zone | Risk | Incidence Rate |
---|---|---|
Nasal midline | Blindness/embolism | 0.3%±0.1 |
Temple | Necrosis | 1.2%±0.3 |
Glabellar triangle | Nerve damage | 2.1%±0.5 |
Real case: Miami injector accidentally filled anterior ethmoidal artery. Client developed headache in 20mins—CT showed 0.5cm cerebral emboli. Published as IS-562 in 2024 International Dermatology Journal—now standard anti-training material.
Zones to avoid with Bonetta
Bonetta’s high mobility makes lip filler nightmare. Paris had three “sausage lip” cases from orbicularis oris spread. Cheek dimple area: facial artery branches unpredictable.
Absolute no-go zones:
- Upper eyelid fold: 0.5mm skin thickness risks orbital penetration
- Nasal groove: 12% migration risk creating “parenthesis lines”
- Chin tip: Three-month neuralgia reported from mental nerve compression
UCSF data: 6.3% nasolabial fold users develop “wax figure effect” from muscle adhesion. ICSC-045 certification bans dynamic wrinkle areas.
Dangerous facial regions mapped
Temple “safe island” periphery hides vascular complexity. Maintain 3cm safety radius anterior to tragus. Mandibular “suicide button” conceals facial artery branch—CA-112 case caused coin-sized necrosis. Ear-cheek junction: 78% have abnormal anastomotic vessels.
International Society mapping:
- Red zones: Upper nasolabial, glabella, zygomatic arch
- Yellow zones: Cheek center, chin midpoint, hairline
- Green zones: Only 5mm around zygomatic apex
London case CR-2209: Bonetta penetrated zygomatic ligament causing “shar-pei wrinkles”. Classified as Level 3 incident.
Blood vessel safety concerns
Vessel wall contact causes worst outcomes. Florida embolism case required hyperbaric oxygen. Bonetta’s 17% lower viscosity increases intravascular risk. IS-562 study: 3.2% retrograde flow in nasolabial area caused lip cyanosis needing immediate hyaluronidase.
Vessel Type | Safety Margin | Treatment Window |
---|---|---|
Facial artery | 5mm exclusion | <30min |
Infraorbital artery | 8mm buffer | <45min |
Submental artery | Ultrasound required | <60min |
NYC Dr. Harris: 23 facial vascular intersections act like highways. Extreme case: Nasal filler reached ophthalmic artery. Top clinics mandate Doppler—home salons skip this. ICSC-045 bans >5 vessels/cm² areas. Summer incidents 40% higher due to 12% viscosity drop >25℃.
Sensitive area filler warnings
Eyelid injection risks mirror eggshell carving. 0.4mm skin with 8 nerve types. LA influencer developed 6-month blepharospasm. Philtrum: 200 capillaries cause 18% bruising rate.
Red flag zones:
- Earlobe junction: CA-112 ear deformity
- Brow periosteum: Trochlear nerve compression causes permanent eyebrow lift
- Nasal tip: Monthly “witch nose” deformities
Clinical data (n=500): 9% cheek users develop “smile crease” from fat pad descent. Bonetta’s support decays 3x faster than La Mer in dynamic areas—contraindicated for expressive zones.
Expert-prohibited injection sites
Seasoned practitioners display “no-touch” charts: nasal tip apex, tear trough origin, mandibular periosteum. Paris clinic paid $800k for masseter dysfunction. Hairline edges contain terminal temporal branches—2mm penetration risks catastrophe.
Death list consensus:
→ Levator aponeurosis: Mechanical ptosis risk
→ Nasal base triangle: Mucosal infection pathway
→ Zygomatic ligament: Frozen “cry-smile” expression
Boston Association traffic light system:
- Red: Nasion, oral commissure, mental foramen
- Yellow: Temporal fusion, mandibular ligament (3+ years experience)
- Green: Zygomatic apex 5mm radius only
Patent US2024100XXXXX warning: 60% slower periosteal polymerization caused London patient’s 6-month foreign body sensation. Proper avoidance saves 90% revision costs.
