Management of Visible Granulomas Following Periorbital Injection of Poly-L-Lactic Acid

Abstract

Given the high frequency of subcutaneous nodule formation reported in early trials of injectable PLA, it is important for physicians to be well informed regarding its potential side-effects and how to minimize risk of adverse reactions. Based on our experience, we suggest that surgical excision is an excellent treatment option for persistent papules and nodules that arise after injection of PLA in the periorbital area.
