Although previous studies have reported a favorable safety profile for HA-CaHA, there is a need for guidelines and recommendations based on real-world clinical experience for the management of complications associated with HA-CaHA.Purpose: This publication provides guidelines and recommendations for the prevention and management of HA-CaHA–related complications. A case study example, treatment algorithms, and injection techniques are included to illustrate the management of complications.Materials and Methods: On January 25, 2023, 13 European physicians were invited to an advisory board meeting to discuss strategies for optimizing patient care, minimizing adverse events (AEs), and identifying data gaps for the prevention and management of complications with HA-CaHA.Results: The management of a subset of AEs, including skin discoloration and edema, was discussed. Small group workshops also shared management algorithms for late noninflammatory adverse reactions, late inflammatory adverse reactions, localized vascular complications, and retinal vascular complications. Best practices for optimal injection techniques were discussed, and injection-technique protocols were developed for treatment sites. Treatment strategies for HA-CaHA–related complications are considered similar to treatment of those resulting from single-agent fillers, and knowledge of anatomy, aseptic technique, correct injection techniques, and appropriate posttreatment care is emphasized.Conclusion: These recommendations on the management of HA-CaHA–related complications may serve as a reference for the broad range of clinicians using HA-CaHA hybrid injectable for different indications and can help optimize patient outcomes and safety.Keywords: hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxyapatite, prevention, complications
