The treatment and prognosis of one case hyaluronic acid augmentation with submental vascular embolization

In June 2018, the hyaluronic acid chin augmentation was performed on a 24-year-old female patient in Xi′an Goose Pagoda Beauty Hospital. After surgery, the patient′s left half of the tongue became pale and turned to dark purple thereafter. The patient had pain and discomfort in tongue, accompanying with pharyngeal swallowing difficulty. It was speculated that the refluxed hyaluronic acid from submental artery to the left lingual artery. Hyaluronidase was immediately injected. The thrombolytic, vasodilatory, and prophylactic antibiotic treatment were assisted. After 8 days, the pain of tongue was significantly improved, and the color returned to normal.
