Granuloma formation after injection of polycaprolactone dermal filler (case report)
A case of clinical observation of a patient with a granulomatous reaction developing in the region of both nasolacrimal grooves after the injection of a filler based on polycaprolactone (PCL) is presented. PCL is used in cosmetology as a filler and collagen synthesis stimulator. It is a biocompatible and biodegradable polymer with a proven safety profile. However, as with the introduction of other types of fillers, in some cases it can cause a granulomatous reaction of varying severity. The clinical observation of this case is of interest to practicing dermatologists, cosmetologists and plastic surgeons.
