Delayed inflammatory reaction 12 years after PAAG injection
Authors
Abstract:
Polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAAG) was initially considered to be a compatible, non-toxic, non-biodegradable material. However, recent studies have shown that numerous adverse events occur after using this permanent filler. The incidence of complications following PAAG injection has been reported to be about 6.7%.Herein, we report a 32-year-old female who developed an inflammatory reaction 12 years after PAAG injection for zygomatic facial augmentation. Microscopic evaluation of the lesion showed giant cells and granuloma formation. The patient was successfully treated with prednisolone. PAAG is associated with inflammatory reactions which may present even years after injection.

We present a case of a 66-year-old woman who developed heart failure and severe inflammatory reaction after the illicit cosmetic injections of polymethyl-methacrylate or polyacrylamide hydrogel from a primary care provider. After medical optimization, an en bloc excision of all injectable materials and gluteus muscle was performed, which resulted in exposure of bilateral sciatic nerves. Within ...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Flumazenil was administered after the completion of endoscopy under sedation to reduce recovery time and increase patient safety. We evaluated patient satisfaction after endoscopy under sedation according to the timing of a postprocedural flumazenil injection. METHODS In total, 200 subjects undergoing concurrent colonoscopy and upper endoscopy while sedated with midazolam and ...
