ABSTRACT
A 34-year-old man presented with recurrent bilateral periorbital swelling and pain for 16 years after receiving facial fillers of an unknown substance in a hotel room from a stranger claiming to work in a medical office. Exam demonstrated a firm, mildly tender nodule along the right upper cheek. Imaging revealed a tubular hyperdensity in the right premaxillary soft tissues. Lower eyelid and upper cheek dissection resulted in retrieval of a tubular metallic foreign body consistent with a needle. Histopathology of surrounding tissue demonstrated iron deposition with granulomatous inflammation. Periocular fillers are a common aesthetic procedure. Although generally well-tolerated, complications include inflammatory reactions, infection, necrosis, and vision loss. This case highlights retention of a metallic foreign body, a complication of filler injection that has not been previously reported, emphasizing the importance of careful injection technique by licensed professionals and imaging and surgical exploration if a foreign body is suspected.
