ABSTRACT

The desire for facial rejuvenation of contemporary society dates back to the end of the 19th century, a period in which facial fillers began to be produced to correct or restore tissue volume for therapeutic and aesthetic purposes. The use of substances to increase soft tissues for aesthetic reasons can cause the appearance of granulomas to foreign bodies, among other undesirable effects. The improvements introduced in these substances have managed to reduce the incidence of adverse reactions, but not their disappearance. The granulomatous reaction to a foreign body appears after a variable period of time and ranges from 5 months to 15 years. The mechanism of action remains unknown, although it has been suggested that an infection could trigger a cross-immune reaction or that there may be delayed immunity stimulation. We present the case of a woman in the sixth decade of life who presented disease caused by modeling substances, the details of the diagnosis and treatment, the latter carried out with steroids administered systemically and surgical resection of the granulomatous reaction.
