“…Particularly, Staphylococcus epidermidis is a commensal bacterium of the human skin and regarded as an innocuous commensal microorganism. However, there are many reports regarding it as an “accidental pathogen” responsible for the nosocomial infections in immunocompromised or medical prosthesis inserted patients [7, 8]. In our patient, insertion of bacteria might not be with surgery, but with a strong jet stream pressure which even can enhance drug delivery from intact skin [2].…”

Technologies and devices for cosmetic procedures are developing with each passing day. However, increased and unauthorized use of such emerging technologies may also lead to increases in unexpected results and complications as well. Here, we report a case of facial cellulitis after a “beauty parlor” session of skin cleaning with jet stream peeling device in 19-year old female patient for the first time. Complications due to improper and unauthorized use of jet stream peeling devices may also cause doubts about the safety and impair the reputation of the technology as well. In order to avoid irreversible complications, local authorities should follow the technology and update the regulations where the dermatologists should take an active role.

“…53 In addition, complications can occur in the hands of the inexperienced provider and include facial cellulitis, abscess formation, and inflammatory nodules. 52 In extreme cases, severe complications include soft-tissue necrosis and blindness. 51 The lack of predictability in fat graft outcomes combined with the regulatory restrictions for cellular graft enrichment provides a challenge for soft-tissue filling.…”

The authors present a review of biomaterials, substances traditionally derived from human or animal tissue or, more recently, biodegradable synthetics modeled after naturally occurring resources. These constructs differ from purely synthetic materials in that they are degraded or incorporated into a host's tissue. These biomaterials include a diverse array of medical products, such as acellular dermal matrix, bone substitutes, and injectables. In this review, the authors examine various clinical applications, including burn reconstruction and wound healing, breast surgery, complex abdominal wall reconstruction, craniofacial repair, and cosmetic surgery. Biomaterials such as acellular dermal matrix have proven beneficial in difficult-to-treat applications; however, more prospective data are needed to determine their true efficacy and cost-effectiveness.

“…Laboratory sings of acute bacterial infection are present. However, intraoral clinical and x-ray examination fails to discover an odontogenic source of infection, and even if possible odontogenic infectious focus is identified, typical signs of acute odontogenic infection, such as oral vestibule swelling and redness, tooth mobility, or sensitivity to axial percussion are missing [40]. (Figure 8) Many patients fail to report filler injections on initial interview because they do not consider them as medical procedures or are embarrassed [41,42].…”

“…More than one deposit of filler material can be present in any treated area and while one focus is drained another one can remain dormant and consequently undetected on clinical examination. This can lead to recurrence [40]. Characteristic histopathologic findings allow the identification of the specific filler agent.…”
