Have you ever seen reports of skin necrosis after hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty? What happened? Is it caused by the injection of hyaluronic acid? Let me give you a detailed answer below.

1. Possible complications of hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty

Hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty refers to injecting hyaluronic acid with good supporting ability into the nose to achieve the effect of rhinoplasty. However, hyaluronic acid is a component of human tissue and will be absorbed by the body slowly, so the surgical effect generally lasts for 6 to 10 months. Therefore, if you want to maintain the effect of rhinoplasty for a long time, you need to inject hyaluronic acid multiple times.

But everyone who has plastic surgery should be aware that doctors will inform you of the risks and side effects of plastic surgery during surgery in regular hospitals, and hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty surgery is no exception. Common complications of hyaluronic acid injection for rhinoplasty include: pain, redness, swelling, itching and ecchymosis, as well as nodules, hard lumps and even infection at the injection site. These symptoms are relatively mild and usually subside or recover about 1-2 weeks after surgery. The most serious complication of hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty is blood supply disorder to the skin caused by vascular ischemia, leading to skin necrosis.

2. The real cause of skin necrosis after hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty

However, these complications of skin necrosis are not directly caused by hyaluronic acid. After all, hyaluronic acid is also a substance that exists in the human body itself. This complication is usually caused by improper surgical injection. During the operation, if hyaluronic acid is accidentally injected into the subcutaneous or dermal tissue, it will cause edema in some tissues. The swollen tissue will compress the blood vessels, causing blood vessel embolism, and the skin will be ischemic and necrotic. Another situation is to inject hyaluronic acid into blood vessels. The blood vessels distributed in the nose have relatively little blood flow. Hyaluronic acid is keratinous. Once injected into the blood vessels, it will cause local blockage of the blood vessels, resulting in necrosis of the nose and facial skin. , fall off.

But you can rest assured that skin necrosis caused by hyaluronic acid injection can be treated. If the tip of your nose turns white and then turns black, you should immediately see a professional doctor for repair. Under normal circumstances, hyaluronidase injection can decompose hyaluronic acid and reduce blood vessel blockage. Low molecular weight heparin can also be injected to prevent blood vessel embolism. Although these complications can be treated, they are more or less unpleasant experiences.

Therefore, for beauty seekers, the only thing they can do before undergoing surgery is to try to choose a professional plastic surgery institution to avoid this risk as much as possible
