The black market in medical aesthetic practice worldwide still exists in spite of the registry restriction and variable complication with questionable safety. Permanent fillers can cause permanent problems to local areas and general health in some patients, on the other hand the temporary soft tissue fillers in form of hydraulic acid or collagen are highly recommended for its safety and rarity of its complication.
Case: In this, a young lady was presented with sub-acute unusual complication of unknown hyaluronic acid fillers, from unknown clinic and injector.
