Abstract

Background. Hyaluronic acid-based filler injections are one of the most popular ways to aesthetically correct age-related skin changes. Despite the high safety profile, various complications can occur in some cases. Description of the clinical case. The article presents a clinical case of a 45-year-old patient who admitted to the Department of Dermatology and Cosmetology of the Institute of Plastic Surgery and Cosmetology with complaints of recurrent edema of the middle third of the face and pain in the area of the nasolacrimal groove and cheeks, severe pigmentation in the periorbital region after the hyaluronic acid filler injection. The occurrence and treatment of a rare delayed immune-inflammatory response after the hyaluronic acid filler application is described in detail. Conclusion. This clinical case is of potential interest to cosmetologists, dermatologists, plastic surgeons, physiotherapists as an example of the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of such pathological conditions.
