摘要

The use of injectable devices for soft-tissue augmentation has been associated with the occurrence of adverse events. The present case report discusses the successful treatment and resolution of painful nodules that were histologically shown to be foreign body granulomas in a patient who had previously received injectable poly-L-lactic acid for the correction of nasolabial folds, the neck, and zygomatic area. Incorrect injection placement and method may have led to the formation of granulomatous nodules. Properly trained professionals can minimize or avoid the occurrence of many of these types of adverse events for their patients by employing proper reconstitution and injection techniques and injecting appropriate/indicated areas. If granulomas do occur, full resolution may be expected following a course of triamcinolone injections. Introduction Injectable poly-L-lactic acid (injectable PLLA; Sculptra and Sculptra Aesthetic, Dermik Laboratories, Bridgewater, NJ, a business of sanofi-aventis U.S. LLC) is a biocompatible, biodegradable polymeric device. In the United States, injectable PLLA is approved for use in immune-competent people as a single regimen for the correction of shallow to deep nasolabial fold contour deficiencies and other facial wrinkles in which deep dermal grid pattern injection technique is appropriate.1 Injectable PLLA is also approved in the United States for the restoration and/or correction of the signs of facial fat loss (lipoatrophy) in people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).2 Injectable PLLA has been shown to have a sustained duration of effect for up to 25 months in immune-competent people3 and for up to 24 months in patients with HIV-associated facial lipoatrophy.4-9 The use of injectable devices for soft-tissue augmentation can be associated with injection- or product-related adverse events. This report describes an approach to optimizing treatment in a patient who received injectable PLLA for aesthetic correction and developed painful subcutaneous nodules. Improper injection technique/placement may have contributed to the occurrence of this adverse effect. Case report In October 2004, a 52-year-old woman presented with painful subcutaneous nodules. Medical history revealed that she had received aesthetic treatment with injectable PLLA from 2 different physicians; posttreatment visits had been completed in December 2003. The patient had received a total of 3 treatment sessions at 8-week intervals; areas treated included the nasolabial folds, neck, and zygomatic area. The dilution volume used for the first injection was 4 mL of sterile water; the second and third injections were administered using a 6-mL dilution. Further details of injection technique were not available from the treating physicians. The patient reported that a favorable aesthetic result had been achieved 6 weeks after treatment with injectable PLLA (Figure 1).
