Dr Decates is a Cosmetic Physician who specialises in cosmetic complications. He works at the Erasmus University Hopsital where he and his colleagues run the only filler complications centre in the world. He has undertaken formal research in the field and completed his PhD in 2021 entitled, 'The origin of soft tissue filler adverse events'.

- The term ‘delayed onset nodule’

- How Dr Decates examines and investigates a lump when assessing a patient referred with a complication

- The role of ultrasound when diagnosing what a filler lump is

- the use of hyalase under ultrasound guidance

- whether new fillers on the market can be trusted

- how the experience of an injector influences how likely an adverse event will occur
