A Case of Delayed Inflammatory Filler Reaction Following Vaccination with Succesful Response to Colchicine

English (OpenAlex)

Delayed inflammatory reactions (DIRs) associated with hyaluronic acid injections are not rare and can be seen in up to 4.25% of patients. Although the exact mechanism is not clear, several triggering factors, including infections, trauma, and dental procedures, were reported in the literature. A 43-year-old female patient treated with HA fillers developed an inflammatory reaction following vaccination in all areas of injection, including temples, lips, and lower eyelids. Systemic steroid and ciprofloxacin were used as a first-line treatment without response. Colchicine 1 mg/day along with hyaluronidase in lower eyelids improved all lesions successfully.
