Objectives: A special technique to make a better result in natural shape of chin and reduce the opportunity of granuloma recurrence caused by silicone injection
Introduction: Silicone liquid injection have been used for cosmetic for more than 40 years. Many complications have been reported such as granulomatous, inflammatory responses, migration, and discoloration of the tissue. In 1992, the FDA has banned silicone liquid injection for cosmetic uses. However, silicone injection is still being practiced illegally. Liquid silicone injected to chin cause granuloma, inflammation, and a witch looked like face.
Materials / method: Many methods has been used to remove the granuloma but excision were the best among all. We used knife to do the excision, only to the granuloma without damaging the skin.The Incision from under the skin in submental area and then we cut the excess skin for make better shape of chin. Using a knife to remove silicone granuloma is better that curretation, and for the inflammation we use corticosteroid injection.
Results: Combination knife with special technique and corticosteroid injection can make a better result in natural shape of chin and reduce the opportunity of silicone granuloma recurrence.
Conclusion: Granuloma on the chin can be removed by excision with special technique which result in aesthetic and low recurrence of granuloma.
