Resumo

Objetivo: Avaliar as principais complicações e indicações associadas ao uso de polimetilmetacrilato (PMMA) na dermatologia e explorar práticas recomendadas para segurança dos pacientes. Métodos: Revisão integrativa com coleta de dados na PubMed Central de artigos publicados entre 2014 e 2024, em inglês. Após a triagem de 648 artigos e a aplicação de critérios de inclusão e exclusão, selecionaram-se 14 estudos. Resultados: O uso de PMMA associa-se a complicações imediatas, como dor e edema, e tardias, incluindo granulomas e cicatrizes hipertróficas, necessitando acompanhamento contínuo. As indicações principais são preenchimento facial e tratamento de cicatrizes, com resultados duradouros, especialmente em pele escura. Contudo, áreas como a região periorbital apresentam maior risco. A técnica de injeção e a escolha criteriosa dos pacientes são cruciais para minimizar riscos. Comparado ao ácido hialurônico, o PMMA apresenta menor risco de embolismos vasculares, mas é menos indicado para tratamentos reversíveis. O manejo das complicações pode envolver corticosteróides ou, em casos graves, remoção cirúrgica. Considerações finais: O uso de PMMA, apesar das indicações, está ligado a complicações, enfatizando a necessidade de estudos adicionais sobre sua segurança e eficácia a longo prazo.
