Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Hyaluronic acid (HA) injection in the auricular base is one of the most popular and non-surgical cosmetic procedures for correcting lying ears and optimizing the facial profile because of its minimal invasiveness, immediate effect and safety (Li et al. in Aesthet Surg J 44: 746-75, 2024). But we have recently discovered that this treatment may lead to a new and rare complication called peripheral facial paralysis that has never been reported before. Until now, the etiology, clinical traits, treatment strategies, outcomes and possible reversibility have not been characterized.
METHODS: In the present study, we enrolled 4 patients with peripheral facial paralysis after subcutaneous postauricular HA filler injection. Preoperative digital subtraction angiography revealed a vascular embolism. Then, the patients underwent super-selective facial arterial thrombolytic therapy via hyaluronidase and papaverine injections. Simultaneously, general symptomatic treatment and nutritional therapy were performed.
RESULTS: The patients were relieved of their clinical symptoms and the significant improvement was observed in terms of motor function in her left facial areas after treatment. The auricular skin necrosis of all patients was restored to near normal appearance.
CONCLUSION: Our results indicate that super-selective facial arterial thrombolytic therapy is feasible for patients with peripheral facial paralysis induced by HA embolism. It was also beneficial in the recovery from skin necrosis. The therapy was shown to be worthy of clinical application.
