Abstract
A clinical case of a 38-year-old patient with persistent swelling of the upper lip that occurred one year after contour plastic surgery with hyaluronic acid fillers is presented. The correction history includes four procedures using medium-viscosity hyaluronic acid fillers in the period from 2018 to 2021, while all injected products were not registered as drugs in the Russian Federation. The swelling developed in 2024 against the background of a stressful situation. Conservative therapy with antihistamines was ineffective. An objective examination revealed asymmetric swelling of the upper lip with a palpable compaction. Consultations with specialists of other pathology profiles did not reveal any pathology. Ultrasound-controlled filler removal was performed. This case illustrates the need to select certified drugs to minimize the risk of complications and emphasizes the effectiveness of using ultrasound control when injecting a solution of bovhyaluronidase azoximer into the filler area.
