Rev Esp Cirug Oral y Maxilofac [online]. 2020, vol.42, n.3, pp.139-142.  Epub 13-Out-2020. ISSN 2173-9161.  https://dx.doi.org/10.20986/recom.2020.1077/2019.

Currently injectable materials are popular for facial rejuvenation and soft tissue augmentation. There are some added problems, which have been conditioned by the increase in complications with fillers, that are the use of adulterated materials, injections of various types of substances in the same area or because administration by inexperienced/untrained professionals.

Several studies suggest that high frequency ultrasound (HUS) is an economical, useful and non-invasive diagnostic tool to determine the nature and type of material and to identify the injection site and quantity of injected filler.

We report a case of a 64-year-old woman who presented hemifacial swelling after 15 years of being injected with 1 infiltration of liquid injectable silicone (LIS) in the lips, treated with Minocycline, showing a significant clinical improvement.

Palavras-chave : Silicone; Minocycline.
