Ultrasound‐assisted management of filler‐related complications: Report of a successful treatment of delayed‐onset nodules related to polycaprolactone‐based filler

Abstract

Abstract A 60‐year‐old woman underwent polycaprolactone‐based filler injection in her midface. Four months later, she developed progressive swelling of midface after a self‐limiting viral gastroenteritis. The diagnosis was “delayed‐onset immune‐mediated nodule formation triggered by a virus.” Ultrasonography enabled us to efficiently treat her with a tailored intralesional corticosteroid injection method.
