Using hyaluronic acid dermal fillers for nonsurgical augmentation of the nose has gained popularity during the past several years. However, this procedure is known to pose a high risk for vascular complications. In this report, we present the case of a 39-year-old woman who underwent a liquid rhinoplasty and experienced a vascular complication that was further complicated by a presumed allergic reaction following the administration of reversal agents.
Dermal filler-based aesthetic procedures have gained widespread acceptance globally and are recognized for their safety profile; however, complications such as vascular occlusion can occur, necessitating immediate intervention. While multiple reviews have explored the mechanisms underlying these adverse events and proposed various management strategies, existing knowledge remains fragmented across numerous publications. This narrative review aimed to synthesize and consolidate the available literature into a comprehensive algorithm for managing vascular complications. By developing a rapid access algorithm specifically for filler-induced vascular occlusion, this review highlights the importance of early diagnosis and prompt intervention, which are critical for mitigating complications and enhancing patient outcomes.
Aging is an ongoing process involving changes in the skin, muscle, bone, fat, and ligaments. This process has been extensively studied, especially by plastic surgeons who have categorized the process into four distinct facial regions that include the upper face, midface, lower face, and neck regions. Approaches to mitigate the aging process encompass surgical options such as facelifts and blepharoplasty, as well as treatments employing energy-based technologies like high-intensity focused ultrasound, radiofrequency devices, and Nd:YAG lasers. Likewise, injecting dermal fillers, neurotoxins, and skin boosters and inserting medical-grade threads under the skin are also frequently used for their antiaging and skin-lifting effects. Persistent facial expressions and muscle contractions exacerbate the aging process. These changes can be addressed by injecting neurotoxins into the medial region depressors and dermal fillers into specific facial areas. In the lower face, aging affects the perioral area, philtrum, lips, and mouth corners. Using tailored injections can provide volume and prevent contraction. In this paper, we present three case reports involving women who underwent a variety of multilevel rejuvenation procedures. We provide before and after images of the women in resting and expressive states to highlight the effectiveness of the treatments.
