Abstract

The utilization of fillers, notably hyaluronic acid, has increased due to their proven effectiveness, versatility, and generally favorable safety profile. In the field of rhinoplasty, hyaluronic acid dermal fillers have been employed for the correction of nasal deformities and surface irregularities. Nevertheless, the intricate vascular network of the nasal region, involving anastomoses between the external and internal carotid arteries, predisposes it to serious vascular complications. We report a case of a severe septal ulcer secondary to local ischemia following an injection of a hyaluronic acid nasal filler. The patient presented with immediate pain and nasal discomfort; however, there was an unfortunate delay in diagnosis and treatment. This report discusses the intricacies of the case and imparts crucial insights gleaned from the incident.
