Foreign Body Reaction After Hip Augmentation Surgery: A Case Report

Hip augmentation cosmetic surgery is an increasingly popular procedure for patients seeking to enhance their body contour and improve their self-image. Despite its benefits, complications can arise, including the rare but serious foreign body reaction (FBR). We present a case of a 32-year-old patient with a history of hip augmentation cosmetic surgery who presented with persistent hip pain. A comprehensive clinical evaluation, followed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), revealed a foreign body reaction associated with the cosmetic augmentation procedure. This case report aims to describe the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of FBR in patients who have undergone hip augmentation cosmetic surgery. We will also discuss potential risk factors, prevention strategies, and the importance of early detection and intervention to avoid severe complications and improve patient outcomes. By sharing this case, we aim to raise awareness among healthcare professionals about this rare but significant complication of foreign body reaction and emphasize the need for close monitoring and timely intervention in patients who have undergone hip augmentation cosmetic surgery.
