Foreign Body Granuloma after Nasolabial Folds Injected with a New Generation Hyaluronic Filler

Abstract

Nowadays, dermal fillers are used in aesthetic medicine very often, hence, a large number of complications after hyaluronic acid products application may occur. Upon early diagnosis and adequate treatment, almost any adverse reaction can be avoided. Proper injection technique, approved products and detailed anatomical education decrease the risk of long-term sequelae. Herein, a clinical case of foreign body granuloma formation in the area of nasolabial fold after injection of hyaluronic filler is described. A short overview of the pharmacodynamics and possible side effects of the injectable hyaluronic fillers is also presented.
