Abstract |
Bio-alcamid (Polymekon) is a gelatinous endoprothesis constituted of poly-alkyl- imide and water that is used for correction of aesthetic alterations. It presents very good tolerance with few adverse effects. We present a case of localized infection in one of the sites of injection, three months after the implant was placed in the nasolabial furrows and lips. It would be the first case of a delayed infection following injection of this material, although there are few references in this field.
