혈관폐색 Vascular Occlusion

[INTRODUCTION] Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are generally safe; however, the most significant complication is vascular occlusion. Several therapeutic protocols have been proposed for managing ischemia. De Lorenzi introduced the HDPH protoco…

[BACKGROUND] The rise in minimally invasive treatments (MITs) in aesthetic medicine has introduced new complexities for subsequent facial surgeries such as facelifts. Despite their popularity, there are limited data on how these treatments …

Using hyaluronic acid dermal fillers for nonsurgical augmentation of the nose has gained popularity during the past several years. However, this procedure is known to pose a high risk for vascular complications. In this report, we present t…

: The history of facial fillers is very broad, ranging from the use of various materials to modern technologies. Although procedures are considered safe, complications such as skin inflammation, infection, necrosis, or swelling may occur. I…

[INTRODUCTION] Free flap surgery is a reliable and safe procedure for breast reconstruction. The survival of free flaps depends on their vascular pedicle initially, but neovascularization can sustain their blood supply after a while. Manage…

Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence angiography has emerged as an intraoperative method to accurately assess real-time tissue vascularity, perfusion and anastomotic patency in flap surgery. We illustrate a complex case of elbow reconstruct…

[BACKGROUND] For patients looking for temporary results or who do not want surgery, nonsurgical rhinoplasty using filler injections has become increasingly popular. Filler materials and surgical techniques have improved in recent years, but…

: This paper compares two popular techniques for tear trough correction-fat repositioning and hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers-highlighting their efficacy, safety profiles, patient satisfaction, and associated complications. : A narrative revie…

Hyaluronic acid (HA) injections are a generally safe procedure, primarily performed to achieve a more aesthetically appealing appearance. Despite the safety of HA filler procedures, complications may arise in some individuals, such as tende…

[BACKGROUND] Given the significant increase in the quantity of cosmetic procedures utilizing hyaluronic acid fillers, including in the nasal region, the initial evaluation of patients using high frequency ultrasound becomes a crucial instru…

Free muscle flaps can develop significant postoperative edema and wound exudation, thereby increasing interstitial pressure and potentially compromising microcirculation. While concerns exist regarding negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT)…

[BACKGROUND] In free jejunum transfer, knowing the ischemic tolerance time of the jejunum is crucial. It helps determine the need for reharvesting if an unexpected situation prolongs the ischemic time. The current ischemic tolerance time in…

Filler-induced alopecia is a transient alopecia characterized by localized hair loss and often attributed to vascular compromise following dermal filler injections in facial regions. Although an uncommon phenomenon, the rising incidence of …

[BACKGROUND] Surgical rhinoplasty is a highly complex cosmetic procedure with significant revision rates. Unfortunately, surgical revision rhinoplasty is associated with many challenges. Nonsurgical correction of surgical rhinoplasty compli…

[BACKGROUND] Abdominoplasty procedures continue to evolve because combining techniques such as suction-assisted lipectomy or direct subscarpal lipectomy have proven to be powerful adjuncts to achieve optimal aesthetic results. However, conc…

The increase in the use of filler treatments within minimally invasive cosmetic surgery has correspondingly escalated the variety and frequency of associated side effects. Initially, unregulated procedures led to primary side effects such a…

Soft tissue defects of the lower limbs pose significant challenges in reconstructive surgery, accounting for approximately 10% of all reconstructive free flaps performed. These reconstructions often encounter higher complication rates due t…

[BACKGROUND] There is a paucity of research on nonsurgical rhinoplasty in the population of African descent. In this group, underlying anatomy and aesthetic ideals vary, necessitating differences in the consultation process and in treatment…

The radial forearm free flap (RFFF) is a workhorse flap for head and neck reconstruction. We present an unusual case of radial artery occlusion, likely from previous transradial cardiac catheterization, in a patient for whom an RFFF was rai…
