“…Real time imaging can be applied in many aesthetic procedures, such as filler injection for the face and dorsal hands, 21 axillary hyperhidrosis therapy, 22 injection lipolysis for submental fullness, 23 and thread lifting. 24 A Doppler ultrasound can reveal the vessels, especially arteries, and planes of a facial structure. In addition, vein detection devices through transillumination can prevent accidental venipuncture and reduce injection-related bruising.…”

“…We think that the real time imaging of a vein detector, ultrasound, and Doppler can bridge the chasm of surface facial anatomy and surgical or cadaveric anatomy.

BackgroundFiller injection is among the most popular nonsurgical aesthetic procedures worldwide. Though relatively noninvasive, filler injection can lead to severe vascular adverse events. Even though the incidence is rare, it may cause devastating and irreversible outcomes. A Swiss cheese model has been widely applied for risk analysis and management approach in medical field.AimsIn this review article, we adopt the Swiss cheese model and create a structured approach to prevent severe vascular complications caused by filler injections.MethodsWe reviewed the current literature regarding the knowledge and techniques of preventing vascular adverse events in the filler injection.ResultsWe propose four structured strategies in this model to reduce the risk of severe vascular adverse events of filler injections, including clinical facial anatomy, safe filler injection principles, real time imaging and auxiliary instruments, and implication of checklist.ConclusionThis review provides clinicians a structured approach before and during the filler injection procedure to reduce the risk of vascular adverse events and improve its safety and outcome.
