Summary: Dermal fillers have been increasingly used for cosmetic procedures, leading to an increase in filler complications. This study focused on the clinical management and treatment of complications in patients who experienced adverse effects after filler injections. The results showed that medical therapy and surgery were effective in treating complications, with optimal outcomes achieved through complete removal of injected material in some cases.

Summary: Injection of autologous fat into the face is a common plastic surgery procedure but can lead to rare but devastating complications such as fat embolism. Two cases of cerebral infarction and sudden vision loss after cosmetic injections of autologous fat on the face were presented. Careful performance of the autologous fat injection and early diagnosis and treatment of embolization are crucial in preventing this catastrophic event.

Summary: This study analyzed the venous vasculature of the lower face and identified four significant areas of venous pooling that should be avoided during lip filler injection. Mapping the perioral venous system provides valuable guidance for injectors to minimize the risk of injury and achieve satisfactory aesthetic results.

Summary: Complications such as vascular compromise, blindness, and stroke can occur following facial soft tissue filler injections, with stroke being a particularly rare but severe complication. Prompt stroke workup protocols are crucial for early detection and management of these complications to prevent long-term consequences.

Summary: A 23-year-old female experienced sudden blindness after injection of PDLLA at the glabella. After receiving proper and immediate therapies including medication, massage, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy, her vision improved significantly within 2 months. The case highlights the rare but devastating complication of retinal artery occlusion caused by PDLLA.

Summary: This report describes a case of bilateral brain infarction associated with iatrogenic ophthalmic artery occlusion following cosmetic facial filler injection. Unilateral blindness and bilateral brain infarction were observed, likely through the anterior communicating artery as a possible route of filler material dispersal. Case reports underscore the importance of considering contralateral embolic events in severe cases of iatrogenic ophthalmic artery occlusion after facial filler injection.

Summary: This study examined the variation and course of the middle temporal vein (MTV) using computed tomographic angiography. The results showed that all MTVs had at least one major trunk, with an average diameter of 2.98 mm. The relationship between the MTV and the frontal branch of the superficial temporal artery was also evaluated, with most superficial temporal arteries located above the MTVs.

Summary: Based on available literature, aspiration technique does not offer a reliable safety measure for filler injections, and it is safer to utilize injection techniques that avoid vascular injection rather than relying on aspiration.

Summary: Preoperative biopsy of duodenal adenomas has a high false-negative rate for malignancy, and pancreatoduodenectomy for duodenal adenoma is associated with higher complication rates compared to pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. These findings suggest careful consideration should be given when deciding between observation and pancreatoduodenectomy for duodenal adenoma patients, especially in younger patients without biliary obstruction.

Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate the cosmetic outcomes of breast reconstruction in breast cancer patients using anomaly score (AS) detected by a generative adversarial network (GAN) deep learning algorithm. The results showed higher AS in patients one and two years after radiation therapy, indicating more abnormal cosmetic outcomes. Patients with autologous reconstruction had lower AS compared to those with tissue expanders.
