Abstract: The growth of cosmetic medical tourism and its inherent lack of after-care as well as patients' ability to obtain restricted products at home raise the likelihood of encountering granulomatous or fibrotic reactions to fillers during consultations. Physicians should have a structured approach to these patients.

“… 8 , 9 The literature on liquid silicone-induced granulomas and complications is limited, with a few case reports and case series. 2 , 7 Despite incomplete understanding of the pathogenesis, granulomas have been associated with serious infections preceding their development. Therefore, patients with permanent filler implants are advised to take antibiotics during infections that occur within the first 10 years post-implant placement.…”
