Objectives: - Make injection anatomy visible through facial ultrasound - Identify the filler type, layer-location, size and quantity before dissolving approach - Learn the principles of ultrasound guided infiltrations to treat filler related complications Introduction: Ultrasound serves as an evidence-based imaging tool in managing fillers and their potential complications. It aids in identifying cosmetic fillers, their location, and size. Beyond the immediate impact of vascular adverse events, late complications like delayed onset nodules, malar edema, the "overfilled face syndrome" and unintentionally placed filler can significantly affect a patient's psychosocial well-being. Materials / method: To demonstrate the integration of facial ultrasound into daily soft tissue filler treatments and how it can be instrumental in addressing complications such as delayed onset nodules, malar edema, overfilled face syndrome and redistributed filler. Results: Ultrasound offers real-time insight into subcutaneous anatomy. Ultrasound-guided hyaluronidase injection ensures precision, requiring smaller amounts of hyaluronidase to address complications like nodules, malar edema, overfilled face syndrome and redistributed filler. Conclusion: As aesthetic practitioners, prioritizing safety is paramount. Proper ultrasound image interpretation enhances our understanding of injection anatomy, providing a more reliable means to manage potential complications associated with soft tissue filler injections.
