Objective:
To describe findings in patients who received dermal fillers and later developed peri-ocular mass lesions.
Design:
Retrospective case series.
Participants:
Patients who presented with peri-ocular masses secondary to dermal filler use.
Methods:
Retrospective chart review.
Results:
Three patients with remote filler injection (hyaluronic acid and polyalkylimide), not volunteered on initial history, presented with peri-orbital swelling and/or inflammation that was suspicious in each case for more serious pathology.
Conclusions:
It is important for the injecting physician, the ophthalmologist, and the patient to recognize this complication to permit appropriate investigation and management.
