TI - Diagnosis and Management of Filler Adverse Effects: An Algorithm SN - 0736-6825 SN - 1098-8793 PY - 2014 JO - Facial Plast Surg JF - Facial Plastic Surgery LA - EN VL - 30 IS - 06 SP - 647 EP - 655 DA - 2014/12/23 KW - injectable fillers KW - side effects KW - granuloma KW - differential diagnosis KW - treatment AB - Fillers are frequently used in beautifying procedures. Despite major advancements of the chemical and biological features of injected materials, filler-related adverse events may occur, and can substantially impact the clinical outcome. Filler granulomas become manifest as visible grains, nodules, or papules around the site of the primary injection. Early recognition and proper treatment of filler-related complications is important because effective treatment options are available. In this report, we provide a comprehensive overview of the differential diagnosis and diagnostics and develop an algorithm of successful therapy regimens.
