Non-surgical techniques with hyaluronic acid fillers to rejuvenate face are very popular treatment due to ease of administration and achievement of faster improvement. Although they are considered to be safe procedures, few rare adverse effects have been reported in literatures. The number of these cosmetic procedures being performed is increasing every year. Simultaneously, the rate of filler complications has also increased. This case series presents three clinical cases of delayed onset nodules after hyaluronic acid fillers after 1-5 months post-procedure. Juvederm Volift was used in all the mentioned patients. Granulomatous reactions can occur with any of the hyaluronic acid fillers. These are generally localized immunological reactions. An awareness about these rare side effects helps us in the assessment and ensurance of accurate diagnosis and treatment.
