However, there is so much information about implantation that Hang does not know how to choose. In the cutlery world group, Mr. Nguyen C. shared about collagen-only products imported from Korea and most of the customers who buy these products are spas. Students only need to register for a period of time to be able to stretch threads for customers. Assoc. Dr. BS. Do Quang Hung, General Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Plastic Surgery Association, said that currently, beauty stretch marks are applied a lot in spas. Assoc. Hung himself has received many cases of complications when thread tensioning. Typically, a 41-year-old female patient has just called for help because of complications of facial pain and inflammation in the surgical area due to a facelift with only a private cosmetic clinic. According to the patient’s account, because she wanted to look younger, she went to have a skin tightening on her temples at a beauty salon in District 3, Ho Chi Minh City. After suffering hundreds of needles, but a month later, she still felt pain in both temples, so she went to Dr. Hung to ask for help. Doctor Hung had to surgically remove her temporal skin due to festering complications. Stretch only beauty. According to master, specialist doctor II Nguyen Minh Quang – Deputy Head of the Department of Research and Application of Stem Cell Technology, National Hospital of Dermatology, stretching is a rather popular beauty method. However, when looking at the image provided by the reporter, Dr. Quang was not clear about how the implant was done. “The blue procedure glove does not understand what it is?, the essence of the word “collagen thread stretch” is wrong. It is a marketing language that actually “stretches only to increase collagen production” – Dr. Minh said. According to Dr. Quang, many facilities now advertise stretch only with beautiful words and in those establishments, almost the people who perform them are not doctors. Most are spas with no technical safety procedures, just unlicensed, floating items. This method is considered a minimally invasive method. Similar to using fillers such as fillers, toxin are methods that are considered to change the structure of skin tissue, thereby creating obvious cosmetic effects. Before performing this measure, it is necessary to have an evaluation by a plastic surgeon and a cosmetic dermatology doctor to see if it is suitable for the indications. If it is appropriate, the doctors will plan the treatment, then proceed to perform this technique. This is a quite popular cosmetic method at home and abroad, has been applied for about 7-8 years in Vietnam, in which it has emerged again for a few years now. With thread material, people currently use 2 types of thread, which are slow-draining threads (only 24k gold and standards PDO, PLLA, PLC, catgut). For this thread, when entering the skin tissue, there will be a supporting effect. At the same time then only this will dissipate in the skin organization. The process that exists in the skin will stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, thereby helping to rejuvenate the skin, while limiting the formation of wrinkles … Or in some cases, the thread is used for reducing fat, tightening the biceps, abdomen, etc. Depending on the material, the time spent can only be from 6 months to several years. Stretching is also contraindicated in some cases because of an allergy to the above thread materials,… When there is a need to stretch threads, it is best for customers to go to reputable medical facilities for advice before implementation.

Recently, medical examination and treatment facilities have received many complications after cosmetic surgery for the eye area. At the National Hospital of Dermatology, a 29-year-old girl in Hanoi came to see her with a skewed eye, scarred and slanted eyes.

TS-BS. Nguyen Huu Quang, Deputy Head of Plastic Surgery and Rehabilitation Department, Central Dermatology Hospital, said that this patient performed eye opening technique at a newly opened salon that she happened to known through advertising on facebook.

After the surgery, the dream of big round eyes suddenly disappeared, instead this girl saw herself in the mirror and was alarmed by the scarring of the lower eyelid, the corner of the eye was in a skewed state.

Eye opening is intended to create accents for the eyes, but those inexperienced in opening the corner of the eye will make the eyelids turn upside down, and the slanted eyes cannot close the eyes. The widening of the eye angle is only a procedure but still needs to be done in medical facilities and because doctors must have expertise in plastic surgery, not in spas by staff. each other’s self-study and then implementation will risk causing complications-BS. Quang recommends.

Similarly, another case came to Ophthalmology Department, Military Central Hospital 108, in which the left eye was aching and the eyesight was severely reduced. The doctor diagnosed the patient with severe uveitis. During an ultrasound, doctors discovered a suspicious image of a small foreign object in the vitreous chamber.

Taking careful history, the patient said that he had previously implanted only the face and eyelids under the eyes at a beauty facility. During the course of treatment, doctors removed a segment of 4-0 catgut about 10 mm long. The patient’s eyes stopped stimulating, his vision recovered.

According to TS-BS. Hoang Thanh Tuan, Plastic Surgery-Aesthetic Center, National Burn Institute: The purpose of implantation is only on the face and lower lids to rejuvenate the skin. When only transplanted into the subcutaneous fat layer or the deep dermis will have the effect of proliferating fibroblasts, collagen helps to increase skin thickness and firm skin, fade shallow wrinkles, shrink pores.

At the same time, the transplanted skin will only become firmer, helping to lift structures under the skin to help a younger face. Implantation only stimulates vascular growth factors that increase metabolism, making the skin pink and radiant.

However, this may be because an operator other than a physician has inserted a thread (this should not be used in rejuvenation) through the sclera into the vitreous chamber. When the foreign body appears in the vitreous chamber, there will be an allergic reaction, the appearance of inflammatory cells in the iris, the eyelid, the chorum causing the intraocular infection – total uveitis.

The release of many inflammatory cells in the vitreous causes opaque to the transparent environment of the eye that the patient will see blurred vision. Inflammatory cells, chemical mediators will stimulate the V-nerve in the eye area, causing pain very uncomfortable for the patient.

At the same time, the inflammatory process to create fibrin, blocking the anterior chamber or the iris sticking to the front of the vitreous body, obstructing the circulation of the aqueous humor, causing glaucoma, causing pain for the patient. If not handled in time, it will damage the optic nerve causing blindness.

Therefore, to avoid unfortunate accidents that can occur in the process of transplanting the special eye area around the eyes to rejuvenate, women need to choose reputable establishments, use only high quality products that are certified. by safety quality accreditation organizations-BS. Hoang Thanh Tuan recommended.

Before that, a woman over 50 years old in Binh Duong, after having her eyelid cut off and being “corrected” by the cosmetic facility by patching, her eyes became deformed, even in a state of rolled up, exposing the lower eyelid mucosa, making the eyes always in a state of redness, burning.

TS-BS. Nguyen Phan Tu Dung (working at a cosmetic hospital in Ho Chi Minh City) shared that the patient came to the examination in the state that the eyelid was operated again and again, the lower eyelid was patched up like tire patch. After surgery, the patient’s eye was increasingly exposed due to the lower eyelid being pulled down, this facility cut the corner of the inner eye to close the eyelid but failed.

In addition, the patient is placed by this facility threaded from the forehead running down the nose to pull the eye skin up. After more than a year of surgery, this part is still intact, causing the patient’s forehead to appear a large triangular scar like a knife cut.

In this case, the treatment is difficult because the eye has been patched up too many times, the scars are located inside. To treat, doctors will first treat the front eye roll to reduce inflammation in the patient by lifting the muscles of the outer cheekbones and closing the angle of the inner eyelid cartilage muscle. After that, patients need a minimum of 6 months to 1 year to recover before entering other cosmetic surgeries.

The eyes are not only “windows to the soul” but in the old saying “rich with two eyes”. Therefore, when wishing to beautify, everyone should be alert when choosing cosmetic facilities, avoiding money lost, handicapped because the technology of re-surgery of the eye after complications is relatively difficult and complicated. Depending on the person’s location and how the eye condition needs to be improved, the doctor will prescribe when it is appropriate to re-operate.
