Silicone oil injections are often used for soft tissue augmentation and local and general adverse effects occurring from a few months to 15 years after injection have been reported. Here, we present a case of delayed granuloma formation due to liquid injectable silicone with large extent of involvement, which precluded surgical removal. Our patient was successfully treated with minocycline, considering its anti-inflammatory, immunomodulating and antigranulomatous properties. This case presents minocycline monotherapy as a useful treatment option for the management of severe granuloma induced by silicone use when surgical excision is not possible.
