BACKGROUND: Soft tissue augmentation is a common and safe cosmetic and reconstructive procedure. OBJECTIVE: We describe a temporary and self-limited adverse reaction to Dermalogen. METHODS: Clinical and histologic evaluation following an adverse reaction noted at a Dermalogen skin test site. RESULTS: Our patient was found to have a foreign body reaction to Dermalogen. CONCLUSION: Dermalogen, a form of acellular human collagen, may induce a foreign body reaction.
