Injection practice and vascular risk · what imaging adds and what it does not · recognising and escalating a vascular event
Dr. Ke He is Deputy Director of the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center at Chongqing West District Hospital and head of its skin and laser aesthetic service — and she is the lead physician of this site. A core specialist formerly at the Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery Department of Xinqiao Hospital, affiliated with Army Medical University, she has worked on the clinical front line in skin laser and injectable aesthetics for more than 20 years, serving over ten thousand patients.
On this review his part is the difference between an image that informs an injection and a scan presented as a safeguard. He describes what imaging shows as a description of one person’s anatomy at one moment, and he does not let a normal-looking scan stand in for the judgement about where to place material. He treats the measures that do reduce risk — cannula choice, slow injection, avoiding a high-risk site and declining a treatment that is not needed — as the substance of the conversation, and describes each with its own limit rather than as a guarantee. Where a vascular event is possible he is explicit that it is an emergency rather than something to observe.

Showing a path is not closing it
An image can say where a vessel runs. It cannot make an injection safe, because the risk arises while the needle is in the face and the probe is not. That is why a scan belongs beside the judgement rather than in place of it, and why nothing here should be read as a reason to be less careful.
