“…Patients with less firm lip tissue may be more prone to filler migration. Softer tissues provide less structural support to hold the filler in place, allowing it to move more easily [ 24 ]. Frequent and extensive lip movements, such as those from talking, eating, or facial expressions, can contribute to filler displacement over time.…”

“…The direction of the needle vector and angle during lip filler injections may play a critical role in determining the distribution and migration of the filler material [ 24 ]. Injections performed with an angled vector, particularly those directed at a 45-degree angle relative to the lip contour, showed significantly reduced migration rates.…”

Purpose: Facial fillers, also alluded to as dermal fillers, consist of injectable chemicals as portion of a minimally invasive strategy to incidentally enhance the aesthetic and appearance of facial highlights by correcting volumes. Non-surgical rhinoplasty, also called liquid rhinoplasty, includes the utilize of dermal fillers to improve the shape of the nose. Non-surgical rhinoplasty is picking up popularity over the surgical choice on account of its ease of application, cheaper cost, better safety profile, less adverse effects, and faster recuperation time. Nevertheless, with the complex nasal arterial vasculature and structure, complications have been detailed within the literature. In this review, we examine the distributed applications of facial fillers in non-surgical rhinoplasty and its viability and security profile as compared to the surgical alternative. Materials and Methods: A comprehensive literature review of articles on facial fillers in non-surgical rhinoplasty was performed. Search results were filtered to incorporate articles and studies that were distributed within the last five years, to increase the relevance of the results to current practices. Search results were then reviewed for significance to the utilize of facial or dermal fillers in non-surgical rhinoplasty only. Studies that detailed the role of face fillers in areas unrelated to rhinoplasty and nose defects were excluded. Findings: Seven articles met the inclusion criteria and discussed the role, security and viability of facial or dermal fillers in non-surgical rhinoplasty. Of these, three were designed to illustrate particular techniques embraced in non-surgical rhinoplasty as well as the common uses of diverse and common fillers. The remaining three reviewed the safety and viability of particular filler sorts: one article inspected the use of Hyaluronic corrosive based dermal fillers in non-surgical rhinoplasty, another reviewed the strategy of PMMA-collagen gel in non-surgical rhinoplasty absconds, and finally, a study analyzed the utilize of a hybrid nasal filler which combined agarose gel and hyaluronic corrosive. The remaining article from the literature reviewed a case from a patient who detailed persistent headache and migraine-like indications following non-surgical rhinoplasty. Conclusions: Facial fillers are compelling and safe options for patients who wish to rectify or enhance their nasal shape or form, without going for surgery. Although the results are not as permanent as with the surgical alternative, non-surgical rhinoplasty offers a better recovery time, and cheaper cost. Given the distinctive properties ascribed to each filler type, and the diverse cases of nasal deformities, the filler choice and area should be chosen on a patient-specific basis. Compared to surgical rhinoplasty, the complications and adverse occasions from the non-surgical injections are as a rule mild and self-limiting. While severe complications are uncommon, deep knowledge of the nasal anatomy and vasculature, as well as extensive training, stay the main ways to minimize their event and increase patient security and satisfaction. Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Severe complications are uncommon, deep knowledge of the nasal anatomy and vasculature, as well as extensive training, remain the main ways to minimize their event and increase patient safety and fulfillment. In any case, more studies are required to clearly establish the safety of dermal fillers, particularly in the long-term.

“…In severe cases, intravascular injection or vascular compression of the filler material can result in skin necrosis or even blindness [2] [3] . Apart from the filler substance, injection-related complications primarily arise from the complex nature of facial vasculature and the insufficient injection skill of relevant clinicians [4] . In reality, facial vasculature exhibits asymmetrical distribution with no regular pattern, both at the individual and population levels [5] .…”

The occurrence of adverse events caused by intravascular injection or vascular compression of filler material remains a persistent concern for surgical filler injection. In order to enhance the visibility of facial vessels and make the injection procedure safe, this paper reports a simple yet effective image fusion approach that combines simultaneously captured visible and near-infrared images to produce vessel-highlighted effects. The visibility enhancement of vessel details involves applying a customized sharpening filter to the NIR image prior to merging it with the color facial. The validation of the fused images is conducted by employing quantitative objective metrics of image quality and clinical efficiency in the identification of vessels. The experimental results demonstrate the proposed approach can efficiently generate discernible impression of vessels with color and texture realistically persevered, and therefore contributes to augment the safety and precision of surgical planning or guidance in filler injections.
