Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) filler injections are one of the most popular nonsurgical cosmetic procedures worldwide.1 Vascular embolism continues to be a major concern of this procedure, due to its potential to cause irreversible damage to the skin, subdermal soft tissues, and organs, such as an eye or brain. New injection areas and techniques in the use of dermal fillers are continuously introduced. Since facial anatomy is highly complex and individually variable, injections to relatively “unexplored” areas for filler placement, carry the potential of new complications.
