Human adjuvant disease (HAD) is an autoimmune syndrome which is caused by prolonged hypersensitization of injected foreign materials. Usually, this occurs after mammary augmentation with foreign materials. We report a rare case of HAD after rhinoplasty with silicone injection. Thirty years ago, the patient underwent augmentation rhinoplasty with silicone injection. We removed the silicone and grafted the area with fascia lata. After the operation, local and systemic symptoms improved.
