A 25-year-old man seeking increased prominence of the cheeks self-injected a topical skin preparation containing hyaluronic acid into his malar soft tissues. Labeling and marketing of the product, which highlighted the hyaluronic acid as one of the ingredients, might have contributed to his misunderstanding of the intended use for the product. Additionally, a popular medical-based talk show and numerous videos online contributed to the errant belief that self-administration was a viable option. Complications from the injection of nonpharmaceutical substances of this type and implications for treatment in clinical practice are discussed.
一名25岁男性为使脸颊更突出,自行将一种含透明质酸的外用皮肤制剂注射到其脸颊软组织中。该产品的标签和营销强调透明质酸是成分之一,这可能导致他误解了该产品的预期用途。此外,一个受欢迎的医学脱口秀节目和网上众多视频助长了他错误地认为自我注射是可行选择的观念。本文讨论了注射此类非药用物质的并发症以及在临床实践中的治疗意义。
