VASCULAR COMPLICATION AFTER LATERAL TEMPORAL LIFTING TECHNIQUE: A CASE REPORT

Abstract

Vascular complication after lateral temporal lifting technique with hyaluronic acid-based fillers may result from arterial occlusion by direct injection into the artery or embolization with the product, which is usually immediately manifested by acute pain and scarlet-red spots due to hemorrhagic blisters. Vascular complication can also result from venous occlusion caused by external compression of the vessel with soft tissue filler. Vascular occlusion requires immediate treatment as the risk of tissue damage and skin necrosis increases with time. In this paper we consider a clinical case of vascular complication after the technique of lateral temporal lifting of hyaluronic acid, manifested by painfulness of the area of hyaluronic acid injection, Livedo reticularis, alopecia, and treatment of this patient for 3 months.
