The director of a cosmetic hospital in Ho Chi Minh City said that he had just received a female patient with 30 large and small abscesses, concentrated in the arm and abdomen.

The female patient is a female NTTH (38 years old, in Binh Phuoc) asking for help from the hospital in a state of dozens of holes all over her body, with stitches and scars all over. Through taking the history, the victim said that 4 months ago, she used to perform beauty fat melting injections at a spa address in Bu Dop district, Binh Phuoc province.

Ms. H shared: “At that time, because I wanted too much to improve my body, I immediately believed the beautiful advertisements of the consultants at the spa. I just know where this substance is injected, it will slim down there, and really, what is the label or origin of this substance, I have not studied carefully. But now I really regret it.”

It is known that at that time, Ms. H performed the above beauty service. However, after just injecting, the body begins to show signs of pain and swelling at the injection sites. Hoang was afraid and worried, the patient went to the spa to be examined and given antibiotics. However, every time the medicine ran out, the injection site throbbed with intense pain, forcing her to continuously infuse antibiotics.

Before going to the hospital, the female patient was treated with incision and curettage at a local medical facility, but the condition continued to recur without being completely resolved. See a doctor for immediate treatment.

Through a clinical examination and a complete health check including ultrasound of the injection sites to dissolve fat, the doctor assessed that the compound injected into the patient may have been banned but advertised. It is a fat-burning injectable panacea.

On the patient’s body, there are 30 large and small abscesses, concentrated in the 2 arms and abdomen. Although it has been treated, but the pus is very deep, so it has not been treated completely. It is expected that the doctor will conduct surgical treatment to drain the patient’s pus and abscess, avoiding the risk of recurrent infection.

This is just one of many complications after injecting beauty fat with the hope of owning a beautiful “body” but with unpredictable consequences.

Through this, the doctor also warns people of 3 important principles when choosing to trust any beauty service to avoid the risk of complications: “Always remember 3 important principles when choosing to trust Beauty anywhere: beauty at genuine cosmetic hospitals with full system of facilities, licensed by authorities to operate, and performed by experienced and qualified doctors professional level. Beauty will be a spiritual medicine for a positive life, don’t let the wrong choice make you regret it for the rest of your life!”
