Vascular Complications After Chin Augmentation Using Hyaluronic Acid.
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery 2018 April
Vascular complications after hyaluronic acid (HA) filling of the chin have rarely been reported. In this report, two cases of vascular occlusion after HA augmentation of the mentum are presented. The first case involved local skin necrosis that resulted from a massive microcirculatory embolism and/or external compression of the chin skin microvasculature. The second case involved vascular compromise in the tongue that resulted from HA injection in the chin. The diagnosis was established on the basis of interventional angiography findings. Concerning the pathogenesis, we hypothesized that the filler embolus flowed into the branches of the deep lingual artery through the rich vascular anastomoses among the submental, sublingual, and deep lingual arteries, after being accidentally injected into the submental artery (or its branches).
