ABSTRACT
Nowadays lip augmentation with FDA-approved fillers is becoming popular. However, because of financial concerns many patients seek for unregistered materials. Here, we report two cases who use vitamin E for lip augmentation. They experience severe infiltration and discharge less than one month after injection. Biopsy revealed lipogranuloma formation. They were treated with incision and drainage, antibiotic, and corticosteroids. Although these complications are usually difficult to treat, the patients had good clinical response and no recurrence in 5-month follow-up.
