Abstract
The use of Injectable Hyaluronic Acid (HA) in wrinkle filling and facial volumization is one of the most commonly performed procedures in cosmetic dermatology practice. While vascular complications are rare, techniques for their management and treatment should be known by any physician performing the procedure. We present a case of a 39-year-old male who experienced vascular occlusion of nasal alar region following HA injection. He experienced persistent pain, tenderness and progressive color alteration of the skin on the injected area that extended to the maxilar region of the same side. This case highlights the importance of immediate recognition and treatment of vascular occlusion to improve patient outcomes and reduce risk of permanent complications.
