Vertex Augmentation With Hyaluronic Acid Filler: A Novel Technique for Height Enhancement and Cephalic Contouring.

Height augmentation and cephalic contouring using hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers represent an innovative approach in minimally invasive aesthetic medicine. This study introduces a novel technique for vertex augmentation, leveraging cross-linked HA fillers to achieve subtle height enhancement and cephalic contouring. A 42-year-old male patient seeking non-surgical height augmentation underwent vertex injections with 15 ml of HA filler (e.

Ultrasound-guided Treatment of Polycaprolactone Granuloma.

Foreign body granulomas associated with polycaprolactone (PCL) filler injections are rare, yet challenging to manage. Multiple management modalities have been described. Here, we present a literature review and describe a case of histologically confirmed PCL-related granuloma, treated using ultrasound-guided injections of triamcinolone, hyaluronidase, and 5-fluorouracil combined with oral prednisolone and doxycycline.

Management of Severe Botulinum-Induced Eyelid Ptosis With Pretarsal Botulinum Toxin and Oxymetazoline Hydrochloride 0.1.

Background: Eyelid ptosis following periocular onabotulinumtoxinA (BoNT-A) treatment is a known complication that can be frustrating for both patients and practitioners. Iatrogenic blepharoptosis occurs due to local spread of the BoNT-A from the periocular region into the levator palpebrae superioris muscle. Although injectors should have a thorough understanding of the relevant anatomy in order to prevent it, BoNT-A induced ptosis can occur even in the most experienced hands.
