Abstract

Background

Facial harmonization procedures, while popular, can lead to complications such as persistent edema, nodules, and scarring with retraction. Ozone therapy, known for its anti-inflammatory, oxygenating, and regenerative properties, has emerged as a potential adjuvant treatment to improve clinical outcomes in such cases.

Case reports

Case 1 involved a 42-year-old female patient who developed persistent facial edema and nodules following an inappropriate hyaluronic acid application. Treatment included ultrasound-guided hyaluronidase injections and subcutaneous medical ozone therapy, resulting in a progressive reduction of inflammation and improved facial symmetry. Case 2 described a 48-year-old female patient with severe scar retraction of the lower eyelids after a "non-surgical blepharoplasty" using a plasma jet, leading to ectropion and ocular pain. Management combined subcutaneous ozone therapy, cyclic eyelid traction, and reconstructive surgery, achieving symptom relief, functional recovery, and anatomical stability.

Conclusion

Ozone therapy demonstrated a significant adjuvant role in managing complications from facial aesthetic procedures by modulating inflammation, enhancing tissue oxygenation, and promoting local tissue regeneration, ultimately contributing to improved clinical outcomes.
臭氧治疗面部协调并发症2例报告
面部协调手术虽然很流行,但可能导致并发症,如持续水肿、结节和牵回留下疤痕。臭氧疗法以其抗炎、充氧和再生特性而闻名,已成为改善此类病例临床结果的潜在辅助治疗方法。病例报告:病例1是一名42岁的女性患者,在使用不适当的透明质酸后出现了持续性面部水肿和结节。治疗包括超声引导的透明质酸酶注射和皮下医用臭氧治疗,导致炎症逐渐减少,面部对称性得到改善。病例2描述了一名48岁的女性患者,在使用等离子射流进行“非手术性眼睑成形术”后,出现严重的下眼睑瘢痕挛缩,导致外翻和眼部疼痛。治疗方法结合皮下臭氧治疗、循环眼睑牵引和重建手术,达到症状缓解、功能恢复和解剖稳定。结论臭氧治疗通过调节炎症,增强组织氧合,促进局部组织再生,在面部美容手术并发症的治疗中具有重要的辅助作用,最终有助于改善临床效果。
