Continuously resolve complications after filler injection
Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Hong Ha - Head of the Department of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Viet Duc University Hospital - said that in just a few days, the department received 2 cases of complications after filler injection at the facility. Beauty treatment is not reputable, there are even patients who had beauty treatments abroad and had a stroke and rushed back to ask for help from Vietnamese doctors.
Like the case of Ms. D.TN (30 years old, Ha Tinh) who is currently living and working in Japan. She went for beauty filler injections at a Spa facility specializing in skin and nail beautification in Japan. When she only injected 0.5cc into the middle of her forehead, she felt drooping eyelids, dizziness, vertigo, nausea and vomiting.
Immediately, the patient was injected with an antidote but still felt uncomfortable and nauseous. The doctor examined her, did not intervene and told her to go home for further monitoring and the situation will improve after 1 month. In the following days, her pain became much worse, her cornea was swollen, and her eyes were almost blind at that time. Too worried about her condition, she decided to book a ticket to return to Vietnam for treatment after 6 days of filler injection.
Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Hong Ha commented that this is a very serious case of complications after filler injection, causing complications in the eye's vascular system, leading to loss of vision in the right eye, with signs of necrosis of muscles and tissues around the eyeball. Currently, the patient must undergo vascular intervention, medical staff still closely monitor the patient's condition to prevent complications from recurring.
Or like the case of an elderly patient (31 years old, Quang Nam) who came to the hospital with bilateral breast abscesses due to breast filler injections. After the injection, lumps and painful swelling appeared in her chest. Recently the condition got worse so she went to the hospital to be screened for cancer.
The doctor discovered that the filler blocks in the chest looked like tumors and advised the patient to have surgery to remove them. However, the patient did not go to the hospital for treatment but returned to the beauty salon to have the filler removed. After the intervention, chest pain and high fever did not improve after taking antibiotics before going to Viet Duc Hospital for emergency treatment.
Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Hong Ha added that the patient was diagnosed with a chest abscess with many filler tumors due to breast augmentation filler injection and filler aspiration causing external bacteria to be introduced into the body.
Despite the dangers to be beautiful
According to Dr. Nguyen Thi Huong Giang, MSc., Department of Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery, Viet Duc University Hospital, when the person injecting filler is not a specialist, has no knowledge of cosmetic surgery , and most of all is just a Spa staff injecting fillers have a very high risk of injecting into blood vessel branches around the eye socket.
After only a few months of participating in the training course, a barber was able to confidently perform filler injection procedures on customers, even claiming to have "been taught how to handle complications".
Many beauty establishments do not operate according to their licensed functions. For example, a skin care spa "disguised" as a clinic or beauty salon can perform filler injections, whitening infusions, eyelid surgery, eyebrow lifts, thread tightening, and even rhinoplasty surgery. private area... They even train to "produce" a series of fake doctors, regardless of the danger to their customers.
To ensure safety, people should go to a reputable medical facility. The person injecting filler must be a trained doctor with full knowledge of anatomy, cosmetic surgery, and a practicing certificate. In addition, it is necessary to choose filler injection products with proven sources and proven safety and purity. After injection, it needs to be monitored and treated promptly to avoid possible unfortunate consequences.
In the unfortunate case of a beauty accident, it is necessary to try to take the patient to a hospital with full modern equipment and a complete multi-specialty coordinated emergency procedure to be able to provide emergency care to the patient. The most effective way.
