What Researchers Did
Researchers reported a case of a 36-year-old female who experienced significant vascular occlusion after hyaluronic acid injection into the nasolabial folds.
What They Found
The patient experienced immediate pain after the injection, but vascular compromise was not diagnosed and treated until 48 hours later. Despite treatment with hyaluronidase, hyperbaric oxygen, nitropaste, and aspirin, the patient suffered tissue damage.
