On February 4, Viet Duc Friendship Hospital received a 29-year-old woman (Hanoi) in a state of complete loss of left vision, severe pain in the eyeconstract area and the left half of the head, accompanied by muscle weakness in the eyelet and eyelids.
The patient said that he had been given filler for beauty at home by an acquaintance (not a doctor). Just a few minutes later, she began to feel severe pain, her vision declined rapidly and eventually lost her ability to see with her left eye.
Through examination, the doctors determined that she had clogged eye circuit and retinal center artery, causing serious anticipated nerves. Despite being intervened in time to control the situation, her left eye could not recover vision.
Another case is a 14-year-old female student (Hanoi) being hospitalized with severe vision loss, swollen eyelids, ptosis, forehead and a bruised nose bridge.
According to the patient, after watching the advertisement on social networks about the way to lift her nose using filler, she got vaccinated at home without any medical knowledge. During the injection process, a sharp pain appeared, but she thought it was a normal phenomenon and continued to do it. Immediately after that, she felt dizzy, dizzy, looked at her doubles and her vision gradually faded. The family immediately took him to Viet Duc Friendship Hospital for emergency treatment.
Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Hong Ha - Head of the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery, Plastics and Cosmetics said that this is a particularly dangerous case. The arbitrary injection of filler of unknown origin into the blood vessels connected to the cerebral blood vessels caused clogged arteries, leading to blurred vision and double vision symptoms. If more severe, it can narrow or block the arteries in the center of the retina, leading to complete loss of vision.
As soon as she received it, the female student was intervened with modern cardiovascular techniques to clear blocked blood vessels and restore blood circulation to save her vision. Luckily, after the emergency treatment, her eyesight has gradually improved.
Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Hong Ha recommends that improper filler injections can cause a series of dangerous complications such as blocked arteries, infections, skin necrosis, and even life-threatening.
Only perform filler injections at licensed hospitals or cosmetic clinics; The implementer must be a doctor with a practice certificate for aesthetic shaping; Do not get fillers at home or at facilities that do not meet the standards.
If there are abnormal signs such as swelling of pain, loss of vision, shortness of breath ..., it is necessary to immediately go to professional medical facilities for timely emergency.
