The most common injection site associated with blindness in a previous report was the glabella; however, the most common site currently associated with blindness due to filler injections was the nose. Extreme caution is necessary when performing nasal augmentation or glabellar wrinkle correction using soft tissue fillers to avoid the branches of the internal carotid artery.

Abstract Background Injection of hyaluronic acid filler, a common procedure for nasolabial fold correction, poses a risk of vascular compromise, which can result in skin necrosis and blindness. Objectives The aim of this study was to examine the facial arterial pathway in real time by Doppler ultrasound to avoid arterial complications during filler injections. Methods The facial artery pathway of 40 patients (80 nasolabial folds; 2 men and 38 women; mean age, 46.5 years; range, 28-72 years) was

Injecting the filler into the preperiosteal layer either via a needle or cannula is considered relatively safe but there remains the possibility of vascular compromise. Using a large diameter cannula and injecting the filler into the preperiosteal layer using a gentle approach may be the safest approach.

Abstract Background Glabellar wrinkle corrections are usually performed by injecting botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid fillers. The glabella is one of the most dangerous locations for filler injection because of possible visual complications. Objectives The aim of this study was to use Doppler ultrasound to determine the anatomic relation between glabellar wrinkles and the supratrochlear artery pathway, perform safe hyaluronic acid filler injection to correct glabellar wrinkles, and determine

During filler injection, penetration of blood vessels and intravascular injection can be avoided by approaching the target area gently using a cannula or needle.

Our findings suggest that Doppler ultrasound can be used to detect the FBrSTA at the temple area to avoid vascular complications during thread lifting.

Hyaluronic acid filler injection in the space between the STF and DTF is a relatively safe and easy site for temple augmentation.

The anatomical layers with blood vessels varied among patients. The variability could give rise to complications. Possible anatomic variations at the temple should be carefully identified using pre-injection ultrasonography, and harming blood vessels should be avoided while injecting hyaluronic acid filler for temple augmentation.

False-negative results from aspiration testing may be reduced by pre-filling the needle lumen with saline rather than a filler. The pressurized system may help overcome challenges of animal models with intravascular pressures significantly different from those of humans. The adaptability of this system to mimic various vessel pressures may facilitate physiologically relevant studies of vascular complications.

Botulinum toxin effectively restricted the paranasal muscles without any significant adverse events. We recommend injecting botulinum toxin after corrective rhinoplasty to prevent recurrence of deviation by facial mimetic muscles.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) filler is the most commonly used filler for soft tissue augmentation. There are numerous commercially available HA fillers in the cosmetic market, and there are guidelines for each filler as determined by the manufacturing company. The successful use of injectable fillers requires an understanding of each option available so that the most appropriate form of hyaluronic acid may be selected for patients. The purpose of this study was to determine whether newly developed HA fi
