Abstract
For more than a century, exogenous lipids and injectable silicone have been used by nonmedical personnel or even licensed physicians to correct body defects and augment parts of the human body. Any skin-implanted exogenous substances can trigger an inflammatory response in individuals. Notably, oily substances have commonly been reported to produce a foreign body granulomatous reaction known as "sclerosing lipogranuloma". Despite local and systemic complications, injections of illegal materials by unlicensed practitioners are widespread and are still a problem throughout East Asian Countries. We herein present a unique case of sclerosing lipogranuloma following illegal filler injection.
