Abstract

Delayed inflammatory and infectious complications occurred in a 63-year-old woman after receiving AQUAfilling filler injection in the forehead and nasolabial folds. The complications were idiopathic and occurred at different time points at different sites. Her condition improved after the removal of the injected materials and capsule, and administration of intravenous antibiotics. Although injection sites differ, inflammation can occur at any site at different time points. The possibility of inflammation at other injection sites should always be considered during periodic follow-up, even if the filler injection site initially shows no signs of complications.Level of Evidence: Level IV.
