- Abstract:
- Especially in cases of facial aesthetic surgery, the demands of the patients are high. The formation of a visible and painful nodule will cause not only discomfort but also dissatisfaction. When alloplastic materials are used for facial and lip augmentation, the possibility of migration, allergic reaction, and formation of a foreign body granuloma is always present. Although e-PTFE is the most bioinert alloplastic material available, the authors could show the formation of a foreign body granuloma. When using e-PTFE threads for facial augmentation, the surgeon should keep in mind and inform the patients that the threads can induce a foreign body granulomatous reaction.
