- Abstract: In addition to well-known side effects such as rash, redness, and bone resorption, unexpected facial complications may occasionally occur several years after certain medical procedures. This report presents rare cases of orofacialsymptoms that developed as delayed responses to cosmetic filler injections. Three separate patients presented to theauthors’ institution with varying severities of orofacial symptoms. These symptoms, initially diagnosed clinically asinflammation or neoplasms of the parotid gland, were later identified through magnetic resonance imaging as diseases potentially associated with filler materials injected approximately 4-8 years earlier. The primary goal of this report was to inform specialists in the oral and maxillofacial field about the possibility of such complications, enabling them tomanage patient symptoms effectively and develop appropriate treatment strategies.
