Reduction of Early-Onset Calcium Hydroxylapatite-Carboxymethylcellulose Accumulations Using Focused Mechanical Vibration: An Experimental Model and Case Report 1. Introduction Previous strategies to manage these nodules have ranged from conservative measures, such as manual massage and warm compresses to more aggressive pharmacologic interventions, ablative technologies, and even negative pressure aspiration, with varying degrees of efficacy [ 6 - 9 ]. Recently, structured algorithms categorizing these interventions based on their invasiveness, effectiveness, and patient burden have been proposed [ 3 ]. Specifically, Level 1 interventions, which emphasize minimally invasive dispersion techniques, have shown promise in effectively resolving these accumulations by redistributing the filler particles over a broader tissue area."
