Event Description
|
This literature report from (b)(6) concerns a (b)(6) year-old female patient.She was injected with hyaluronic acid.The patient was injected by non-medical personal.On the same day, 90 minutes after the treatment with hyaluronic acid, the patient was admitted to the clinic, with striking pattern of patchy cutaneous erythema and reticulated foci in the distribution of the angular artery.The patient was treated as she had a vascular necrosis.She had follow-up until the wound healed.Due to provided information, the outcome of the event was considered as resolved.In the opinion of the authors, dermal fillers temporarily removed the appearance of rhytids and reduced the depth of skin folds.Even with the most experienced of injectors, adverse effects occurred ranging from mild bruising to severe injection necrosis.Physicians had to be able to treat the severe complication of vascular necrosis and detect impending necrosis after injection of a dermal filler, especially with hyaluronic acid fillers as a specific protocol for treatment after injection necrosis was going to improve the outcome of wound healing.
