Doctor CK2 Nguyen Xuan Thao directly treated patient T.

According to information, after receiving lip, chin, and nose filler injections at a spa, Ms. NHT (17 years old, in Dong Nai ) suddenly had a headache, dizziness, and vomiting. Her family took her to Cho Ray Hospital for emergency treatment on January 9.

At this time, the patient's left eye showed signs of drooping eyelids, bruising in the upper eyelid area and the inner corner of the nose had signs of swelling and bruising in the chin and upper lip area, negative vision in the left eye, corneal edema, blood filled the conjunctiva with signs of conjunctival congestion. After being diagnosed with loss of vision in the left eye after filler injection, the patient was transferred to the Ophthalmology Department for further monitoring and treatment.

Doctor CK2 Nguyen Xuan Thao - Department of Ophthalmology, Cho Ray Hospital, who directly treated patient T., said that after a period of treatment, the patient's health has improved, the symptoms of headache have decreased, the condition of drooping eyelids has also decreased, the cornea is less swollen, and he feels more comfortable even though his vision is still negative.

"It is expected that the Ophthalmology Department will coordinate with the Neurology Department, the Plastic Surgery Department and the Vascular Department to consult and come up with the next treatment plan for the patient," said Dr. Thao.

Cho Ray Hospital said it received many cases of complications after filler injection.

Recently, the Ophthalmology Department of Cho Ray Hospital has received many cases of complications after filler injections and the case of 17-year-old patient T. is just one of the cases of complications after filler injections at unlicensed facilities, leaving behind very serious complications.

"People who need filler injections for beauty should choose reputable facilities - hospitals, which are appropriately prescribed by experienced doctors because currently there are many types of fillers, so the quality of fillers is difficult to verify when injected into the body and at the same time, the certification of filler injections at beauty facilities is very low, only reputable facilities that import that filler can ensure patient safety", Nguyen Xuan Thao advised.
