A 60-year-old woman underwent polycaprolactone-based filler injection in her midface. Four months later, she developed progressive swelling of midface after a self-limiting viral gastroenteritis. The diagnosis was "delayed-onset immunemediated nodule formation triggered by a virus." Ultrasonography enabled us to efficiently treat her with a tailored intralesional corticosteroid injection method.
With advances in the ultrasound-assisted esthetic procedures, filler injection can successfully be used for cosmetic correction of face structural imperfections.Here, we present a new filler injection method by targeting two anatomic landmarks which effectively improved the appearance of a mandibular prognathism case who was a maxillofacial cosmetic surgery candidate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
