CONDUTAS EMERGENCIAIS FRENTE À NECROSE TECIDUAL APÓS PREENCHIMENTO COM ÁCIDO HIALURÔNICO
Resumo
Os procedimentos com ácido hialurônico tornaram-se essenciais na estética minimamente invasiva, mas o aumento do número de aplicações eleva o risco de eventos raros e graves, como oclusão vascular com isquemia e necrose cutânea. O presente estudo tem como objetivo descrever os mecanismos fisiopatológicos envolvidos na necrose tecidual decorrente do preenchimento estético com ácido hialurônico e discutir as condutas emergenciais recomendadas frente a essa complicação. Trata-se de uma revisão narrativa realizada a partir de buscas em bases de dados eletrônicas, incluindo SciELO, LILACS, PubMed, Periódicos CAPES e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, complementadas por livros, diretrizes nacionais e documentos oficiais da área da saúde com publicação de 2015 a 2025. Foi identificado que a adoção de protocolos de manejo emergencial bem estabelecidos contribui significativamente para a reversão ou minimização dos danos teciduais. A rapidez na tomada de decisão, associada ao uso correto de recursos terapêuticos disponíveis, como a hialuronidase, reforça a importância da capacitação contínua dos profissionais que atuam na área da estética.
