Summary
Dermal filler migration to the orbit is a rare complication of facial rejuvenation procedures. This study highlights cases of migrated filler causing orbital symptoms, emphasizing the need for consideration in differential diagnoses.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Plastic Surgery
- Dermatology
Background:
- Facial rejuvenation with dermal fillers is increasingly popular.
- This rise has led to a greater incidence of filler-related complications.
- Orbital complications from migrated dermal filler are an emerging concern.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report cases of dermal filler migration to the orbit.
- To discuss treatment strategies for this complication.
- To explore potential mechanisms of filler migration.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective, multicenter analysis.
- Inclusion of patients with orbital symptoms post-facial filler injection.
- Review of treatment modalities and outcomes.
Main Results:
- Seven patients (6 female, 1 male; age 42-67) presented with orbital symptoms due to migrated dermal filler.
- Treatments included orbitotomy, lacrimal surgery, strabismus surgery, and hyaluronidase injections.
- All patients remained stable post-treatment.
Conclusions:
- Orbital complications from migrated dermal filler can occur long after injection.
- Delayed diagnosis is possible due to the distant site of complication.
- Dermal fillers should be included in the differential diagnosis for new-onset orbital masses.

The Moon orbits around the Earth. In turn, the Earth (and other planets) orbit the Sun. The space directly above our atmosphere is filled with artificial satellites in orbit. One can examine the circular orbit, the simplest kind of orbit, to understand the relationship between the speed and the period of planets and satellites with respect to their positions and the bodies that they orbit.

Cell migration, the process by which cells move from one location to another, is essential for the proper development and viability of organisms throughout their life. When cells are not able to migrate properly to their ordained locations, various disorders may occur. For example, disruption in cell migration causes chronic inflammatory diseases such as arthritis.

01:19Cell Migration
6.1K
Cell migration is a process by which the cells move from one location to another, playing an essential role in embryological development, repair and regeneration, immune response, and metastasis. Cells migrate in response to chemical or mechanical signals generated by specific organs or tissues. The overall mechanism includes three steps - polarization, protrusion, and release. Polarization involves the formation of a distinct cell front and rear, which determines the direction of movement.

3.5K
The driving force for the motion of any vehicle is friction, but in the case of rocket propulsion in space, the friction force is not present. The motion of a rocket changes its velocity (and hence its momentum) by ejecting burned fuel gases, thus causing it to accelerate in the direction opposite to the velocity of the ejected fuel. In this situation, the mass and velocity of the rocket constantly change along with the total mass of ejected gases. Due to conservation of momentum, the...

Migration is long-range, seasonal movement from one region or habitat to another. This common strategy, carried out by many different organisms around the world, is an adaptive response that typically corresponds to changes in an organism’s environment, like resource availability or climate. Migrations can involve huge groups of thousands of animals as well as single individuals traveling alone and can range from thousands of kilometers to just a few hundred meters.

01:32Cytoskeletal Coordination in Cell Migration
5.3K
A migrating cell changes its shape during the cyclic events of attachment and detachment from the substratum and repositions the cell organelles correspondingly. These complex events are orchestrated by the dynamic cytoskeletal network comprising actin filaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules. Cytoskeletal crosstalk — the direct and indirect communication between the different components — is crucial for this coordination. Direct communication involves various linker...
