Main Article Content
Abstract
Injectable facial fillers have been widely used worldwide. There are temporary, semipermanent, and permanent fillers. Regarding permanent fillers silicone is the most widely used, approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in two presentations Adatosil and Silicon 100 for retinal detachment. In 1997 the FDA allows for the off-label use prescribed within the doctor-patient relationship. There have been reported multiple adverse events, mainly inflammatory symptoms, foreign body reactions, sepsis, and product migration generally occurring by inappropriate application by untrained personnel. Case report: We present the case of a male patient in the fifth decade of life who underwent the application of silicone oil at the level of the nasal tip, and later presented secondary dermatopathy without response to medical management, which requires surgical management to remove the allogeneic material and secondary nasal reconstruction. Discussion: Facial fillers have been widely used, however.
