Intercorrências nos procedimentos de harmonização facial: Uma revisão bibliográfica

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Facial harmonization has become one of the most sought-after minimally invasive aesthetic procedures in recent decades, driven by the pursuit of beauty standards, sociocultural influences, and advances in techniques and materials. This study aimed to analyze, through a bibliographic review, the main complications associated with facial harmonization, as well as to highlight the importance of anatomical expertise in preventing such complications. This study was conducted based on 23 scientific articles published between 2015 and 2025, selected from databases such as PubMed, SciELO, Lilacs, and Google Scholar. It addressed the anatomy of the face, including skin, muscles, blood vessels, and nerves, as well as commonly used substances such as hyaluronic acid and botulinum toxin. The most frequent complications include swelling, bruising, pain, necrosis, granulomas, and erythema. Data analysis reinforces that the lack of professional preparation can result in serious adverse events, compromising the aesthetic and functional integrity of patients. Safe and effective practice in facial harmonization requires continuous training, solid anatomical knowledge, and the implementation of biosafety protocols.
