摘要

Liquid silicone injection for cosmetic purposes has a long and notorious history.However,reports of delayed and extensive lesions are rare.Here,we report a case of long-term complications after the use of liquid silicone materials for the correction of facial deformities.In this case,the complications of foreign body granulomas and unique silicone nodules lasting for more than 10 years were reported.Liquid silicone injection can induce delayed adverse reactions,which are difficult to treat.This case presents the successful surgical treatment of a mass in-jection of liquid silicone.The focus of treatment should be to remove the injected material and degenerated tissue as much as possible while protecting normal tissue and its function.Through open reconstructive surgery with an appropriate incision,postoperative scars can be hidden.Consequently,both functional and aesthetic outcomes can be achieved.
