Abstract

Cutaneous ischemia, caused by vascular occlusion, is one of the most feared adverse events for clinicians resulting from the injection of Hyaluronic Acid (HA). An early intervention with application of Hyaluronidase (HYAL) will lead to the successful reversal of the isquemic condition - which might be severe and brings serious consequences to the patient. The authors report a case of injection of HA in the labial region, which resulted in a sub occlusion of the superior labial artery in which degradation was performed with HYAL at different time points. This study evaluates one of the side effects of using HA fillers in order to enable early diagnosis and treatment, and reduce morbidity and sequelae among patients.
