Have you encountered PRP Injections & foreign-body granulomas?

Judith N. 78Sep 2, 2023
My dermatologist (professor at Washington University) is increasingly hesitant to perform periocular PRP injections because she has recently seen numerous patients presenting with foreign-body granulomas following PRP injections. Another dermatologist (a friend) told me she has never seen such complication and the literature only reports a handful of cases of patients also suffering from an autoimmune disease. Have you personally encountered such complication in your clinical practice?
