  • Title: Xanthelasma palpebrarum after hyaluronic acid injection in the lower eyelid: A case report and review of the literature.
    Author: Simões Pires V, Wender IO, Santos MF, Sartori GL, Vivian A, Dallagnese G.
    Journal: J Cosmet Dermatol; 2021 Sep; 20(9):2750-2752. PubMed ID: 33387399.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Hyaluronic acid filler treatments are a very popular nonsurgical procedure worldwide, most wanted to create a more attractive profile and correct facial aging. Since its usage has expanded, more complications have been seen. AIMS: To report a probably new adverse effect related to injectable fillers. PATIENT: A 38-year-old white woman who underwent hyaluronic acid filling in the periorbital area and presented twelve months after with two symmetrically yellowish plaque lesions on the lower eyelids, with no edema or nodules. RESULTS: The lesion appeared to be xanthelasma, in a patient with no history of hyperlipidemia. Histological analysis showed unspecific findings with rare histiocytes present in the papillary dermis. The patient was treated with hyaluronidase infiltration in both lower eyelid areas as an attempt to minimize the appearance of the lesions, with a satisfactory response. CONCLUSIONS: As hyaluronic acid fillings are becoming more popular, all physicians have to be aware of its complications. The xanthelasma-like reaction is probably a new adverse effect related to injectable fillers and it is important to be alert to this possibility.
