A Rare Ocular Complication of Autologous Fat Injection: Subconjunctival Fat Infiltration

The aim of this brief clinical study to describe and discuss the subconjunctival fat infiltration encountered in a patient with autologous fat injection. A 50-year-old female patient, who had an autologous fat injection 2 days ago, applied to our clinic with the complaint of redness and burning in the left eye. On anterior segment examination, a raised 20 × 15 mm adipose tissue was observed in the temporal region under the conjunctiva. Infiltrated fat tissue was surgically removed from the subconjunctival area. Subconjunctival fat infiltration is an extremely rare complication after autologous fat injection.
