Hello, I'm doctor Ahmed Abdel Aziz. I'm a plastic surgeon. So today we're having a complicated case that had filler injected and threads that created infection six months ago. And now we're trying to locate and remove the threads under ultrasound guided and at the same time dissolving the fillers.

00:00:26.640 — 00:00:29.880
So let's scan the area first to locate where is the threads.

00:00:36.240 — 00:00:39.800
Now we're scanning scanning the cheeks area.

00:01:03.010 — 00:01:06.850
Trying to locate where the threads are.

00:01:22.810 — 00:01:27.930
So there is a remnant of the thread here. It's the hyper echoey part

00:01:29.610 — 00:01:31.410
here that has to laminar.

00:01:32.850 — 00:01:35.770
And this is how we can see this part of the thread.

00:01:56.930 — 00:01:58.490
This is the thread again.

00:02:00.570 — 00:02:02.650
That's another piece of the thread here.

00:02:18.850 — 00:02:25.650
The patient is under local anesthesia. I injected the local as a nerve block.

00:02:50.650 — 00:02:53.370
As you can see here, this is my tool.

00:02:55.250 — 00:02:59.490
It's here. And the thread is further down here.

00:04:06.300 — 00:04:07.780
This is the thread here.

00:04:09.820 — 00:04:11.220
It's very obvious.

00:04:16.820 — 00:04:21.260
It looks like it's in the deep tissues. That's another thread.

00:06:19.030 — 00:06:19.790
Finally.

00:06:24.070 — 00:06:25.470
This is the thread.

00:06:30.070 — 00:06:31.190
That's a piece.

00:06:47.550 — 00:06:50.750
And let's see if there is another piece.

00:06:52.350 — 00:06:53.950
There's another piece here.
