| Summary: | The growing popularity of soft tissue filler injections has brought attention to the associated risks, particularly vascular complications, and their treatments. This case report focuses on a 34-year-old female who developed nasal skin necrosis following hyaluronic acid (HA) filler injection for nasolabial fold (NLF) enhancement. Despite the careful procedure, complications emerged rapidly, emphasizing the critical importance of prompt diagnosis and intervention. A total of 10,000 turbidity reducing units (TRU) of hyaluronidase (HSE) were administered in a high-dose pulsed manner, alongside hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The patient experienced a gradual but significant improvement over 60 days. This case underscores the need for constant vigilance in aesthetic medicine and the potential consequences of even minute HA amounts, exceeding zero, in causing severe vascular events. |
