Popis: Ophthalmoplegia following cosmetic facial filler injections is a rare but serious complication. The authors report 2 cases of ophthalmoplegia following filler injection. In the first case, a 54-year-old female presented with acute onset headache, vomiting, and diplopia during malar and temporal injection of hyaluronic acid. In the second case, a 37-year-old female presented with binocular diplopia that developed following injection of an unknown filler to the upper face. Neither of the 2 patients had skin necrosis or ocular abnormalities other than motility deficits. To the authors' knowledge, there have been no other cases of isolated ophthalmoplegia without evidence of other ocular injuries following facial filler.
