GĐXH - After being injected with filler into the chest, the patient began to experience symptoms of dizziness, fainting, then signs of chills and fever; the chest was swollen and had many lumps.
On January 15, Viet Duc Friendship Hospital announced that it had just received a patient with complications after receiving filler injections for breast augmentation at a spa.
Specifically, a female patient (19 years old, in Hoa Binh) was brought to the hospital with swollen breasts and many lumps.
It is known that after giving birth to her first child, she saw that her breasts had shrunk, so she went to a spa to have her breasts beautified. Here, she was advised to inject fillers into her breasts. After the injection, the patient began to experience symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, and then signs of chills and fever.
The patient was taken to a hospital for emergency treatment and had a brain X-ray, which did not reveal any abnormalities in the brain. However, he still had pain, swelling, and lumps in his chest, and occasionally had a fever, so he went to Viet Duc Friendship Hospital for examination.

Here, the patient is given an ultrasound and X-ray to determine the exact location of the fillers in the body. Then, the doctors continue to do an ultrasound to check if the fillers are connected or circulating.
Because the patient is young and wants to have children in the future, doctors must consider very carefully how to remove as much infected filler as possible from the patient's body, without affecting the ability to raise children in the future while ensuring aesthetics.
Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Hong Ha, Head of the Department of Plastic Surgery - Aesthetics, Viet Duc Friendship Hospital said: Doctors used modern endoscopic surgery combined with a multi-plane color ultrasound system during cesarean section to remove most of the lumpy filler blocks from the patient's chest.
This method has the advantage of only having a small incision, is aesthetically optimal and has little effect on the mammary glands, allowing the patient to continue being a mother and producing milk for her child in the future.
One week after surgery, ultrasound results showed that the fillers had been almost completely removed from the patient's chest. The incision was small, dry, only a few centimeters long, and the function of the mammary glands was preserved almost to the maximum.
Many consequences of injecting filler into the chest
According to Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Hong Ha, injecting fillers or injecting fillers into the breasts is an illegal act according to regulations of the Ministry of Health. Previously, some people injected liquid silicone into their breasts, but this substance has long been banned.
Currently, some smuggled and unlicensed products such as artificial fat are used for injection into the body. These substances are of unknown origin and unsafe, especially when injected into the mammary gland, a tissue that secretes milk and has a high risk of causing cancer.
Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Hong Ha added that injecting substances of unknown origin into the chest can cause many dangerous complications. Immediately, a blood vessel blockage can occur, the injected substance can move to the brain or lungs and cause a blockage in these organs. This is rare but very dangerous, and can threaten the patient's life.
In addition, injecting substances of unknown origin at unlicensed facilities also increases the risk of infection. Many patients after injecting fillers at spas of unknown origin often have fever, chills, infection or pus discharge from the injection site.
" In some cases, the infection can last for a long time and cause the breast to swell, become painful, have lumps or discharge pus through the fistula, making treatment very difficult. Many patients have to go to the hospital for long-term treatment, even having to have the entire breast removed," said Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Hong Ha.
Therefore, doctors recommend that when there is a need for breast beautification, women should learn carefully about safe and effective methods. Methods recognized by the Ministry of Health and world medicine include breast augmentation by surgery, especially the method of endoscopic breast implant placement through the armpit.
This is a method that has been proven safe and effective in improving breast shape, thanks to advanced endoscopic techniques, patients will have very little pain after surgery, recover quickly with aesthetic results without any scars or blemishes on the breasts.
