Abstract
Lipolytic injections are widely used in cosmetology practice. In most cases, they are used to correct the contours of the body, as well as to reduce the amount of fat deposits in the submental area. Side effects after their use are rare and, as a rule, resolve themselves. However, in the case of the use of non-certified medications, the frequency and severity of complications increase sharply, which requires timely and highly qualified therapy.
The article presents overview data concerning the mechanism of action of the main types of lipolytics and their classification, indications and contraindications to lipolytic therapy, reveals the problems of complications that have developed as a result of their use. A description of a clinical case of the development of an inflammatory reaction after injection of a low-quality lipolytic in the area of paint fat bags is presented. The tactics of her therapy are described. This clinical case demonstrates the importance of using certified products, compliance with injection techniques and the correct choice of the patient for this method of cosmetic therapy.
The article is of interest to a wide range of specialists (cosmetologists, dermatovenerologists, plastic surgeons, physiotherapists).
