The overwhelming interest in economically cost-effective treatments had led to an increase in the development of cosmetic facial injections. Concomitantly, complications have been also on the increasing trend. This article aimed to investigate the social-economic impact caused by infection after cosmetic facial injection.
A retrospective study was conducted between January 2014 and December 2019. Information including demographics, location of the original injection site, treatments, economic loss, and time away from work associated with complications was documented. Patients were asked to complete 2 FACE-Q domains 4 weeks after the first presentation, including quality of life and patient experience.
Complete data were available for 12 patients. All patients were female; the mean age was 32.66 years (range, 26-49 years). The mean therapeutic cost of atypical mycobacterium was 18170.58 USD. The mean time away from work was 51.25 days (range, 21-103 days). The mean cost of time away from work was 400.80 USD (range, 164.23-805.50 USD). From FACE-Q, patients reported a decreased quality of social life, including social function (38.83 ± 12.10), psychological distress (48.67 ± 11.01), and early-life impact (39.92 ± 10.15). Patients also reported low satisfaction with their decision to undergo the cosmetic facial injection.
Infection after cosmetic facial injection comes at a considerable social-economic impact on patients. Patients who responded in this study were extremely unsatisfied with the quality of life following the infection.
对经济成本效益治疗方法的强烈兴趣导致了美容面部注射的发展增加。同时，并发症也呈上升趋势。本文旨在探讨美容面部注射后感染引起的社会经济影响。
这是一项在 2014 年 1 月至 2019 年 12 月期间进行的回顾性研究。记录了包括人口统计学信息、最初注射部位的位置、治疗方法、经济损失和与并发症相关的工作时间损失在内的信息。患者在首次就诊后 4 周内完成了 2 个 FACE-Q 领域的调查，包括生活质量和患者体验。
12 名患者的完整数据可用。所有患者均为女性，平均年龄为 32.66 岁（26-49 岁）。非典型分枝杆菌的平均治疗费用为 18170.58 美元。平均误工时间为 51.25 天（21-103 天）。平均误工费用为 400.80 美元（164.23-805.50 美元）。根据 FACE-Q，患者报告社交生活质量下降，包括社交功能（38.83±12.10）、心理困扰（48.67±11.01）和早期生活影响（39.92±10.15）。患者对接受美容面部注射的决定也表示不满意。
美容面部注射后感染会给患者带来相当大的社会经济影响。本研究中回复的患者对感染后的生活质量非常不满意。
