title: Late-Onset Complication of Fillers: Paraffinoma of the Lower Eyelids Clinically Mimicking Xanthelasma.
abstract: Injectable poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) is world-famous filler used in lipoatrophy and facial rejuvenation because of its collagen neogenesis effect which leads to gradual volume restoration. Until recently, quite a number of unwanted adverse events of PLLA have been reported. However, to the best of our knowledge, paraffinoma as a complication of PLLA has never been reported. We herein describe the first case of paraffinoma after Sculptra® injection and propose its possible mechanism.
