| Summary: | A wide range of dermal fillers is now available for use in the beauty industry.
We present a case of a 33-year-old woman with complications after hyaluronic
acid injection by a non-medical practitioner. Two weeks after the injection,
bilateral sinus pain, fever, and burning sensation occurred in the cheek area.
She underwent a detailed diagnosis revealing Attagenus larva in
the paranasal sinus. Despite treatment, the symptoms remained. Thus,
hyaluronidase was administered in the infraorbital area, obtaining a full
remission. |
