ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
As the desire to maintain a youthful appearance escalates nationwide, the numbers of patients presenting with complications subsequent to cosmetic treatments performed by non-professionals are increasing.OBJECTIVE:
The purpose of this study was to overview complications from cosmetic therapeutic attempts by non-professionals, and to discuss their management from a dermatologist's point of view.METHODS:
During the period January 1st, 2011 to December 31st, 2013, a total of 24 patients who visited the Severance Hospital at Yonsei University for complications that developed after cosmetic treatments by oriental doctors, non-medical personnel, and general practitioners were enrolled in this study. Patient clinical characteristics, past history, diagnosis, biopsy results, and treatment information were collected.RESULTS:
The most common complication was a granulomatous foreign body reaction (n=15, 62.5%), followed by skin necrosis (n=8, 33.3%), and misdiagnosis and malpractice by non-professionals (n=5, 20.8%). Three patients had more than 2 complications combined. Patients with granulomatous foreign body reactions were usually managed with conservative treatments or excisions, while those with skin necrosis were managed with debridement and secondary intention healing.CONCLUSION:
As the number of cosmetic therapeutic attempts made by non-professionals increases, dermatologists need to understand the potential complications that can arise following these procedures, and should take an active role in managing the patients.
