  • Title: [Iatrogenic teflon granuloma of the eyelid. (Teflon paste, an unsuitable filling material for plastic eyelid surgery)].
    Author: Daicker B, Piffaretti JM, Häfliger E, Schipper J.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 1985 Feb; 186(2):121-3. PubMed ID: 3889472.
    Abstract:
    A paste of granular Teflon was injected into the upper lid of a patient for remodeling the upper palpebral furrow, which had been retracted by scars. Large foreign-body granulomas developed a few weeks later, necessitating two excisions. The causes of this unsatisfactory result with a filling material which is well established in laryngeal surgery are discussed. The authors advise against using it in well vascularized loose tissue.
