Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of foreign body granuloma on both upper eyelids. Clinicians should be aware of the potential complication of granuloma reaction and migration even many years after the injection. We advise that autologous fat injection should be performed solely by trained physicians and it should be made known that there is a possible occurrence of migration. Keywords: upper eyelid granuloma, cosmetic filler, excisional biopsy |
