RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Nonsurgical rhinoplasty (NSR) utilizing hyaluronic acid (HA) filler injections is increasingly used to address nose shape issues. While refinements have been proposed, the technique lacks standardization. OBJECTIVES: Our study aimed to evaluate the aesthetic outcome, longevity of results, safety, and patient satisfaction with the novel Rino-4-Puntos (R4P) NSR technique. METHODS: This is a retrospective study of consecutive individuals treated with R4P between January 2021 and July 2023. All participants had one of the four indications: rectification of the dorsum (21%), triangulation of the tip (32%), projection (25%), and strengthening of the columella (22%). Each patient received two hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers: one with intermediate G prime (G') at Points 1-3 and another with high G' at Point 4, which is further divided into Points 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, and 4.4. The injection points were as follows: P1 (radix, 0.05-0.15 mL, supraperiosteal), P2 (supratip, 0.025 mL, suprachondrial), P3 (tip, 0.15 mL, deep fat), P4 (columella, 0.30 mL, supraperiosteal [4.1], or deep fat [4.2, 4.3, and 4.4]). RESULTS: Four hundred individuals (n = 284 [71%] females) are included. The mean filler volume used was 0.65 ± 0.17 mL. Injecting small boluses (≤ 0.05 mL) in the midline at deep planes minimized the risk of adverse effects, as no vascular complications occurred. Ninety-three percent of participants considered the overall outcome at least satisfactory ("good," "very good," or "excellent"). The treatment effect was maintained for a median of 11 months. CONCLUSIONS: The R4P technique refines NSR by combining enhanced aesthetic outcome, longevity, and safety.

Método: Foram estudados 209 casos de pacientes portadores de complicações relacionadas ao uso de polimetilmetacrilato na face que buscaram tratamento entre o período de janeiro de 2000 a junho de 2021. Os dados analisados foram sexo, idade, número de injeções, momento da aplicação, intervalo de tempo até surgir a complicação, tipo de complicação, região comprometida e tratamento realizado. Resultados: A idade média dos pacientes foi de 45 anos (23 a 79 anos). Destes, 172 eram mulheres e 37 homens. O número de aplicações variou de 1 a 5. O tempo mediano de surgimento de complicações foi de 71 meses. As regiões mais comprometidas foram a malar, em 102 pacientes; mandibular, em 100; e zigomática, em 91. Granuloma foi observado em 135 pacientes; edema, em 120; e inflamação, em 78. O tratamento mais realizado foi a injeção de corticoide, em 111 pacientes, seguido de remoção cirúrgica, em 40. Conclusão: Os resultados podem servir como base de conhecimento para uma melhor compreensão das complicações com o uso de polimetilmetacrilato na face.

Introduction: Polymethylmethacrylate is a permanent filler product. Injecting this material into the face can lead to complications. The objective of this study is to determine in a series of cases the median time for complications to occur, the most affected areas, the types of complications, and the treatments most performed. Method: 209 cases of patients with complications related to the use of polymethyl methacrylate on the face who sought treatment between the period of January 2000 and June 2021 were studied. The data analyzed were gender, age, number of injections, moment of application, interval time until the complication arises, type of complication, affected region, and treatment performed. Results: The average age of patients was 45 years (23 to 79 years). Of these, 172 were women and 37 men. The number of applications ranged from 1 to 5. The median time for complications to appear was 71 months. The most affected regions were the malar, in 102 patients; mandibular, in 100; and zygomatic, in 91. Granuloma was observed in 135 patients; edema, in 120; and inflammation, in 78. The most common treatment was corticosteroid injection, in 111 patients, followed by surgical removal, in 40. Conclusion: The results can serve as a knowledge base for a better understanding of complications with the use of polymethylmethacrylate in the face.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Complications of temporary and permanent fillers have been extensively studied. However, there is a lack of comparative data regarding poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA), and polycaprolactone (PCL) known as collagen biostimulators. AIMS: This study addressed the complications of collagen biostimulators concerning their diagnosis, type of product, treatment, and monitoring. PATIENTS/METHODS: An electronic questionnaire was sent to Brazilian dermatologic ultrasound experts to identify complications related to biostimulators. The type of biostimulator, location of application, number of vials injected, application plan, time between injection treatment and complication, injector profile, treatment, and prognosis were assessed. RESULTS: Fifty-five cases were identified, of which 49.1% were caused by PLLA-Elleva®, 23.6% by CaHA (alone or combined with hyaluronic acid), 20.0% by PLLA-Sculptra®, and 7.3% by PCL. The most affected area was the face (72.7%), with nodules being the most common clinical form (89.1%), generally occurring late (60.0%) (>1 month). Only one case was injected at an incorrect depth (musculoaponeurotic system-SMAS). Despite several treatments, including saline (45.5%), hyaluronidase (25.5%), diluted corticosteroids (23.6%), and energy-based devices (10.9%), only five cases showed complete resolution. Hyaluronidase was beneficial in complications related to fillers when there was an association of calcium hydroxyapatite with hyaluronic acid (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Complications from collagen biostimulators were more common on the face, typically manifesting about 1 month after treatment. These issues seemed to be related more to the properties of the products rather than inadequate technique. Furthermore, hyaluronidase demonstrated efficacy only in cases where there was an association with HA.

RESUMO

Introdução: O mercado de procedimento estéticos cresce exponencialmente no Brasil. Tal crescimento tem despertado o interesse de várias categorias profissionais. A decisão de praticar no setor deve considerar as oportunidades de mercado da localidade na qual se pretende atuar. Entretanto, a área carece de análises comparativas documentando prováveis diferenças regionais no país. O objetivo do estudo é descrever as diferenças de mercado em procedimentos estéticos entre os estados e regiões brasileiras. Um índice de potencial consumo de cosmiatria (IPCC) é calculado para tal análise comparativa. Método: Estudo transversal envolvendo prestadores de procedimentos estéticos não cirúrgicos no Brasil. Buscas no Google®-Google Maps® foram conduzidas usando termoschave e entrevistas telefônicas realizadas para obter informações sobre categorias profissionais, tipo de provedores e serviços oferecidos. Valores preditivos positivos foram obtidos para todas as estratégias de busca e usados para estimar o número total de provedores. O tamanho da população e a renda per capita foram considerados para o cálculo dos IPCCs para os estados brasileiros. Resultados: São Paulo, Minas Gerais e Rio de Janeiro apresentaram os maiores IPCCs, sendo 524, 210 e 180, respectivamente. Roraima teve um IPCC de 14, o mais baixo do país. A Região Sudeste apresentou, em média, o maior IPCC (242) entre todas as regiões brasileiras. Conclusão: Considerando o tamanho da população e a renda, a Região Sudeste apresenta as maiores oportunidades de mercado em procedimentos estéticos não cirúrgicos no Brasil. Nossos achados podem ser de interesse para profissionais de saúde e investidores que atuam ou pretendem atuar no setor.

Introduction: The aesthetic procedure market is growing exponentially in Brazil. This growth has aroused the interest of several professional categories. The decision to practice in the sector must consider the market opportunities in the location in which you intend to operate. However, the area lacks comparative analyses documenting probable regional differences in the country. The objective of the study is to describe market differences in aesthetic procedures between Brazilian states and regions. An index of potential cosmetic consumption (IPCC) is calculated for such a comparative analysis. Method: Cross-sectional study involving providers of nonsurgical aesthetic procedures in Brazil. Searches on Google Maps® were conducted using key terms, and telephone interviews were conducted to obtain information on professional categories, types of providers, and services offered. Positive predictive values were obtained for all search strategies and used to estimate the total number of providers. Population size and per capita income were considered to calculate the IPCCs for Brazilian states. Results: São Paulo, Minas Gerais, and Rio de Janeiro presented the highest IPCCs, being 524, 210, and 180, respectively. Roraima had an IPCC of 14, the lowest in the country. The Southeast Region presented, on average, the highest IPCC (242) among all Brazilian regions. Conclusion: Considering population size and income, the Southeast Region presents the greatest market opportunities for nonsurgical aesthetic procedures in Brazil. Our findings may be of interest to healthcare professionals and investors who work or intend to work in the sector.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT Purpose: Recently, hyaluronic acid (HA) was proposed as a promising option for the treatment of acquired lower eyelid cicatricial ectropion. However, this effect was not confirmed by quantitative assessments. This study aimed to assess the effect of hyaluronic acid on the treatment of acquired lower eyelid cicatricial ectropion. Methods: Eight patients with acquired lower eyelid cicatricial ectropion (13 eyelids) were treated with a single 1 mL injection of hyaluronic acid in the preseptal area of the lower eyelid. Evaluation of symptoms and biomicroscopic exam was performed before and 30 days after hyaluronic acid injection. Quantitative analysis of the lower eyelid position (with and without lid traction) was determined before and 30 days after hyaluronic acid injection through standard photographs analyzed using the ImageJ. Results: All patients experienced partial improvement of symptoms. The lower eyelid position was significantly lifted after hyaluronic acid injection with a significant reduction of medial and lateral angles, reduction of the margin reflex distance, and total and medial ocular fissure area. However, signs of lid margin inflammation and corneal punctate keratitis persisted. Conclusions: Hyaluronic acid injected in the pre-septal area of the lower eyelid improved acquired lower eyelid cicatricial ectropion symptoms and significantly lifted the position of the lower eyelid. Further studies, with a large number of participants and a long-term follow-up period, are needed to better determine the permanency of the effects of hyaluronic acid injections on the treatment of acquired lower eyelid cicatricial ectropion.

RESUMO Objetivo: Recentemente, o ácido hialurônico foi proposto como promissor no tratamento do ectrópio cicatricial adquirido da pálpebra inferior. No entanto, não foram feitas avaliações quantitativas para confirmar este efeito, motivo que levou a realização do presente estudo que visou avaliar o efeito do ácido hialurônico no tratamento do ectrópio cicatricial adquirido da pálpebra inferior. Métodos: Oito portadores de ectrópio cicatricial adquirido da pálpebra inferior (13 pálpebras) foram tratados com uma única dose de 1 mL de ácido hialurônico, injetada na área pré-septal da pálpebra inferior. Os sintomas e o exame biomicroscópico foram realizados antes e 30 dias após a injeção do ácido hialurônico. A análise quantitativa da posição palpebral inferior (com e sem tração palpebral) foi determinada antes e 30 dias após a injeção do ácido hialurônico por meio de fotografias que foram analisadas usando o programa ImageJ. Resultados: Todos os pacientes apresentaram melhora parcial dos sintomas. A posição da pálpebra inferior foi elevada significativamente após a injeção do ácido hialurônico, com redução significativa dos ângulos medial e lateral, da distância entre o reflexo pupilar e a margem da pálpebra inferior, da área de fissura palpebral total e da área medial. No entanto, sinais de inflamação da margem palpebral e ceratite puntata da córnea persistiram. Conclusões: O ácido hialurônico injetado na área pré-septal da pálpebra inferior, melhorou os sintomas do ectrópio cicatricial adquirido da pálpebra inferior e elevou significativamente a posição da pálpebra inferior. Estudos com maior número de participantes e período de acompanhamento mais longo são necessários para melhor determinar os efeitos das injeções de ácido hialurônico a longo prazo no tratamento do ectrópio cicatricial adquirido da pálpebra inferior.

RESUMO

O uso de materiais injetáveis estéticos na região orofacial vem aumentando exponencialmente, assim como as complicações associadas a estes procedimentos. As reações adversas a materiais estéticos podem se confundir com processos neoplásicos, tanto do ponto de vista clínico quanto microscópico. Este trabalho tem como objetivo principal descrever detalhadamente as características clínicas, demográficas, histopatológicas, histoquímicas e imuno-histoquímicas de reações adversas a diferentes preenchedores estéticos na região oral e maxilofacial. Foi realizado um estudo transversal multicêntrico, no qual as amostras foram coletadas de cinco laboratórios de patologia oral no Brasil e no México. Foram realizadas colorações de hematoxilina-eosina, Alcian blue, Sirius red e azul de toluidina, bem como imuno-histoquímica para CD68, CD3 e CD20. H&E também foi avaliado sob luz polarizada. Estatísticas descritivas foram realizadas. Vinte e três casos foram incluídos. Polimetilmetacrilato foi o material mais comum (n=10), seguido por silicone (n=4), ácido hialurônico (n=3), hidroxiapatita de cálcio (n=3), hidrogel de poliacrilamida (n=2) e ácido poli-L-láctico (n=1). Os pacientes foram principalmente mulheres (91,3%), com idade média de 50,65 anos. A maioria das reações afetou os lábios e foi assintomática, com tempo de evolução variável (7 dias a 10 anos), apresentando-se como nódulos de 58,07 mm em média. Polimetilmetacrilato e silicone apresentaram imagens negativas de formato arredondado, enquanto ácido hialurônico e hidrogel de poliacrilamida apresentaram-se como "piscinas" amorfas. A hidroxiapatita de cálcio apresentou estruturas poliédricas e o ácido poli-L-láctico apresentou formatos semelhantes a fendas. Ambos birrefringentes sob luz polarizada. Células gigantes foram comumente encontradas, exceto em silicone e ácido hialurônico. Granuloma de corpo estranho foi frequente em polimetilmetacrilato. Ácido hialurônico e hidrogel de poliacrilamida apresentaram metacromasia por azul de toluidina. Alcian blue foi positivo em todos os casos de ácido hialurônico. Mastócitos foram detectados em todos os materiais, exceto ácido hialurônico e hidrogel de poliacrilamida. Eosinófilos foram mais raros que mastócitos. Numerosas células CD68 positivas foram vistas em todos os casos. Todos os casos apresentaram células CD3 positivas, com quantidades variáveis. CD20 foi escasso ou negativo na maioria dos casos. Além do artigo científico, foi produzido um e-book de histopatologia, enfatizando o diagnóstico diferencial histológico destas lesões. Concluímos que apesar das semelhanças, há características específicas de cada material e da resposta do hospedeiro que auxiliam no diagnóstico histopatológico correto. Formato, tamanho e coloração do material no H&E são características-chave no diagnóstico diferencial. Uma reação intensa de macrófagos é observada em todos os preenchedores estéticos, frequentemente associada à formação de células gigantes. A imuno-histoquímica para CD68 e a coloração por azul de toluidina são as mais abrangentes para auxiliar no correto diagnóstico, sendo que outros marcadores podem ser úteis em casos específicos. Lesões neoplásicas também devem ser consideradas no diagnóstico diferencial histopatológico.

The use of aesthetic injectable materials in the orofacial region has been increasing exponentially, which has also led to an increase in complications associated with these procedures. Adverse reactions to aesthetic materials can be confused with neoplastic processes, both from a clinical and microscopic perspective. The main objective of this study is to describe in detail the clinical, demographic, histopathological, histochemical, and immunohistochemical characteristics of adverse reactions to different aesthetic fillers in the oral and maxillofacial region. A multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted, in which samples were collected from five oral pathology laboratories in Brazil and Mexico. Hematoxylin-eosin, Alcian blue, Sirius red, and toluidine blue staining, as well as immunohistochemistry for CD68, CD3, and CD20, were performed. H&E was also evaluated under polarized light. Descriptive statistics were conducted. Twenty-three cases were included. Polymethylmethacrylate was the most common material (n=10), followed by silicone (n=4), hyaluronic acid (n=3), calcium hydroxyapatite (n=3), polyacrylamide hydrogel (n=2), and poly-L-lactic acid (n=1). The patients were predominantly women (91.3%), with an average age of 50.65 years. Most reactions affected the lips and were asymptomatic, with variable evolution times (7 days to 10 years), presenting as nodules with an average size of 58.07 mm. Polymethylmethacrylate and silicone showed negative images with a rounded shape, while hyaluronic acid and polyacrylamide hydrogel presented as amorphous "pools." Calcium hydroxyapatite showed polyhedral structures, and poly-L-lactic acid exhibited fissure-like shapes. Both were birefringent under polarized light. Giant cells were commonly found, except in silicone and hyaluronic acid. Foreign body granuloma was frequent in polymethylmethacrylate. Hyaluronic acid and polyacrylamide hydrogel showed metachromasia with toluidine blue. Alcian blue was positive in all hyaluronic acid cases. Mast cells were detected in all materials except hyaluronic acid and polyacrylamide hydrogel. Eosinophils were rarer than mast cells. Numerous CD68- positive cells were seen in all cases. All cases presented CD3-positive cells, in varying amounts. CD20 was scarce or negative in most cases. In addition to the scientific article, a histopathology e-book was produced, emphasizing the histological differential diagnosis of these lesions. We conclude that despite similarities, there are specific characteristics of each material and host response that aid in the correct histopathological diagnosis. The shape, size, and staining of the material in H&E are key features in the differential diagnosis. An intense macrophage reaction is observed in all aesthetic fillers, often associated with the formation of giant cells. Immunohistochemistry for CD68 and toluidine blue staining are the most comprehensive for assisting in the correct diagnosis, although other markers may be useful in specific cases. Neoplastic lesions should also be considered in the histopathological differential diagnosis.

RESUMO

Background: Aesthetic treatment directed at improving facial emotional messages and social attributes may maximize patient satisfaction with treatment results. The MD Codes™ is an approach to facial aesthetic treatment that accounts for emotional messages and social attributes while minimizing variability in patient assessment, injection technique, injection sites, and treatment outcomes. Objective: To assess the impact of the MD Codes systematic treatment approach on emotional and social attributes and natural appearance after facial aesthetic treatment with hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed in patients treated with 12 mL of HA fillers (Juvéderm® Vycross™ products) per patient using the MD Codes. Study injectors, experienced clinician observers, clinical staff, laypeople, and patients evaluated impact of treatment on emotional and social attributes and natural appearance based on pre- and post-treatment photographs of patients. Results: Twelve patients and 49 external observers, from 12 countries, evaluated the images. More than 90% of patients named "eye bags" as the facial area most in need of aesthetic treatment; >55% of external observers identified "cheeks." The top 3 facial emotional attributes noted by all evaluators after treatment were, in order, "less tired", "less saggy", and "younger." All patients reported a visible and positive change in emotional attributes except for "less sad." After 9 months, most patients reported looking "less tired" (n=11/12), "less saggy" (n=8/12), and "less sad" (n=6/12). At months 6 and 9, all patients rated their appearance as natural looking. At least 90% of external observers considered the frontal view results natural for all but 1 patient. Patients reported improved positive social attributes (eg, "looking friendlier") and improvements in well-being after treatment. No serious side effects were reported. Conclusion: Implementing the MD Codes for facial aesthetic treatment may improve facial emotional attributes as well as enhance social attributes and well-being, with natural-looking results.

RESUMO

Facial filling is widespread in society, albeit associated with inherent risks. This review analyzes clinical studies using laser therapy for filler complications to assess its safety and efficacy as an alternative treatment. A literature search was conducted up until April 2023, encompassing five different databases: PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, and Medline, to find clinical trials addressing patients who underwent laser treatment for adverse reactions to injectable facial filling. The outcome variables were the clinical assessment of the lesion and the occurrence of post-intervention complications/sequelae. The risk of bias was assessed using the ROBINS-I tool. In total, six studies were included, all classified as having a "moderate risk" of bias. A total of 533 patients underwent laser treatment for adverse reactions to injectable facial fillers. The diode laser was the most frequently utilized equipment, with positive results reported in five studies. Among all treated patients, 96.24% achieved partial or complete resolution, 0.22% experienced some sequelae or complications, and only 0.01% showed no improvement. Laser treatment can eliminate the necessity for surgical intervention for adverse reactions to injectable facial fillers, resulting in partial or complete improvement of the condition.

RESUMO

Introdução: Tradicionalmente, o rebaixamento do dorso é o único método de correção da giba. Raras séries apontam a elevação do radix como possível solução. O que explica essa maciça predominância do procedimento redutor? Ineficácia dos métodos de aumento de radix e ponta? Percepção de nariz grande com os procedimentos de aumento? Nossos objetivos são descobrir se a percepção de redução ocorre na rinoplastia não cirúrgica (RNC), feita exclusivamente com adição de volume, e se a percepção de redução é importante na RNC. Método: Análise retrospectiva de 116 pacientes consecutivos submetidos a RNC. As imagens dos pacientes foram analisadas por 12 observadores independentes que avaliaram as mudanças percebidas no tamanho do nariz e a qualidade da correção, dando notas de 1 a 10 para os dois quesitos. Quanto ao tamanho, 1 representava muito menor que antes, 5 mesmo tamanho (neutralidade) e 10 muito maior que antes. A qualidade da correção foi classificada de 1 a 10. Resultados: 92 casos (79%) foram percebidos como redução do tamanho, enquanto 20 casos (17%) foram percebidos como aumento. Houve percepção de redução na média das pontuações de tamanho (4,71). A média da qualidade da correção foi de 8,28 na escala de 1 a 10. Ademais, nossos resultados sugerem que pode haver correlação indireta entre a percepção do tamanho e a qualidade da correção. Conclusão: O aumento proporcionado pela RNC pode causar percepção de redução do tamanho do nariz, e o grau da redução percebida pode estar diretamente relacionado ao grau de qualidade percebida da correção.

Introduction: Traditionally, lowering the dorsum is the only method of hump correction. Rare series point to raising the radix as a possible solution. What explains this massive predominance of the reduction procedure? Ineffectiveness of radix and tip augmentation methods? Big nose perception with augmentation procedures? Our objectives are to determine if the perception of reduction occurs in non-surgical rhinoplasty (NSR), performed exclusively with volume addition, and if the perception of reduction is important in NSR. Method: Retrospective analysis of 116 consecutive patients undergoing NSR. The patients' images were analyzed by 12 independent observers who evaluated the perceived changes in the nose's size and the correction's quality, giving scores from 1 to 10 for both questions. As for size, 1 represented much smaller than before, 5 same size (neutrality), and 10 much larger than before. The quality of correction was graded from 1 to 10. Results: 92 cases (79%) were considered size reduction, while 20 cases (17%) were considered enlargement. There was a perception of a reduction in the average size scores (4.71). The mean correction quality was 8.28 on a scale of 1 to 10. Furthermore, our results suggest that there may be an indirect correlation between perceived size and correction quality. Conclusion: The increase provided by the NSR can cause a perception of a reduction in the size of the nose, and the degree of perceived reduction can be directly related to the degree of perceived quality of the correction.

RESUMO

Introduction: Anatomy is one of the foundations in medicine, and choosing a practical and dynamic teaching method is essential for better retention of your learning. The objective is to use facial anatomy applied to live models as an innovative teaching strategy and to evaluate the experience of the learning experience of students assigned to the method. Method: The work analyzes the experience with body painting of 51 students from Instituto Boggio assigned this method (or instructed to use this method) during their classes. Different planes and anatomical structures were represented on live models' faces to simulate and teach the main injectable cosmetic procedures; syringes, needles, cannulas, and ultrasound gel stained with food inks were used. Overlapping latex layers were used for the anatomical study of the temple, middle third of the face, and nose, allowing the reproduction of fillers and biostimulators in these regions. The main muscle groups were represented for the discussion of high-precision botulinum toxin. After the entire demonstration, the students answered a questionnaire via "Google Forms" evaluating the methodology used. Results: According to the answers to the questionnaires, most students considered body painting an innovative methodology that contributed to learning anatomical content and satisfactorily illustrating the demonstrated cosmetic procedures. Conclusion: Practical learning through live models makes this new teaching method something innovative and unique that, in an enjoyable way, enables the study of anatomy and appropriately trains clinical skills.
