Abstract
Rejuvenation of the aging hand has gained recent popularity. I report on 3 cases with complications related to the use of Artecoll (a permanent filler composed of polymethylmethacrylate) in soft tissue augmentation of the hand. All 3 patients had late-onset granuloma reactions, and the acute attacks were successfully treated with local injections of triamcinolone. However, recurrent reactions and hypopigmentation at the injection sites were noted.
