Three cases of suspected sequelae of facial foreign bodies associated with silicone injection

Abstract

We describe our experience with 3 patients who had sequelae of facial foreign bodies associated with silicone injection. All 3 patients received facial silicon injections in their twenties. Swelling occurred at the site of silicone injection about 40 years later. No patient voluntarily declared a history of silicon injection. One patient selected surgical treatment, and 2 selected the conservative drug therapy. After treatment, swelling improved in each patient. No recurrence of symptoms has occurred.
