| Popis: | Background: A 39-year-old woman presented with a history of relapsing painful erythema and progressive fibrosis of the lower back. Upon questioning, the patient admitted to receiving liquid silicone (LS) injections for gluteal augmentation abroad and was diagnosed with silicone migration, granulomatous reaction, and fibrosis of the lower back. Objective: To review the history of LS injections for cosmetic soft tissue augmentation (STA) as well as its complications and potential treatments. Methods: The author reviewed articles that involved the use of LS for STA and summarized their findings. Results: The author summarizes the various treatments that have been described for inflammatory reactions following LS injection. Conclusion: The growth of cosmetic medical tourism and its inherent lack of after-care as well as patients’ ability to obtain restricted products at home raise the likelihood of encountering granulomatous or fibrotic reactions to fillers during consultations. Physicians should have a structured approach to these patients. |
