- Abstract
Background: Botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid (HA) filler injections are popular minimally invasive cosmetic procedures owing to their convenience, efficiency, and durability; however, adverse reactions often occur. Materials and methods: We describe the delayed hypersensitivity reaction that occurred after sequential injections of botulinum toxin and HA filler. Results: The histopathologic and dermatoscopic findings suggested a delayed hypersensitivity reaction with the formation of a dermal foreign body granuloma. The rash resolved 2 months following treatment with antihistamines and topical steroids cream. Conclusion: We assume that local trauma during the blepharoplasty stimulated an immune response, which was the basis for this complication.
