Three hours after the injection, the patient was taken to Hanoi for emergency treatment, vascular intervention and fortunately, his eyesight was gradually restored.


Improper injection technique is the cause of the patient's near blindness, Dr. Ha said.



Instead of plumping the face, the filler injection area on the patient's temple formed an abscess.

In the past 2 weeks, the Central Hospital of Dermatology has recorded nearly 10 cases of complications due to filler injection. All patients are female.


The oldest of these cases is a 60-year-old woman who suffered from infection and swelling after injecting fillers to remove wrinkles on her face.

However, the rampant appearance of injection services everywhere, the injectors who have not yet learned about injection techniques, and the blind trust of a part of customers make the accident rate because of filler injection in Vietnam at a low level. high.


Complications from filler injections can have cosmetic consequences, even causing blindness, paralysis of limbs, coma, Dr. Vu Thai Ha warned.


Recently, after the Covid-19 epidemic was under control, life gradually returned to the "new normal", many women are more interested in beauty treatments, including filler injection services.


Affirming that this is a completely legitimate need, Dr. Ha recommends that women need to choose reputable medical facilities, hospitals with specializing in beauty and cosmetology. Fillers must be licensed by the Ministry of Health.
