PEGylated hyaluronic acid as tissue expander on a surgical compromised nose. A case study

Abstract

Our nose is a very important and sometimes an essential element of facial beauty. The nose, located in the centre of the face, should be in harmony with the other features of the face. Rhinoplasty is one of the most frequently performed aesthetic operations today. Below, we present the case of a 29-year-old patient with a complication after surgical rhinoplasty. The patient underwent surgical rhinoplasty twice - the first time (2011) with terrible results and the second time (2017) only with gentle improvements. Twelve years after the first surgery, the patient was still looking for a way to improve the outcome of her nose; we proposed the treatment plan with the use of novel PEG-cross-linked hyaluronic acid to improve the appearance of the nose area, with significant visual effect and no side effects.
