(in brazil, there is no product with valid registration based on bovine collagen - rdc 118/2001). it is known that the application of these substances may cause some undesirable side effects, including, local edema, inflammatory processes, telangiectasias, hypertrophic scars, allergic reactions and granuloma formation. granulomas usually appear 6 to 24 months after treatment, with an occurrence rate of 0.6%, but may also occur several years after injection (requena et alli, 2011). the use of this product in restorative surgeries shall comply with the provisions set forth in joint ordinance sas / svs no. 01 of january 20, 2009, which establishes strict criteria for accreditation of the highly complex network for the lipodystrophy. in terms of aesthetics, both the origin of the product and the qualification of the professional must be carefully observed. the orientation of the patient should be complete, so as to provide the patient with the free choice of undergoing the procedure or not. the establishments must have healthy and properly equipped conditions. the federal council of medicine (cfm) and the brazilian society of plastic surgery have already expressed their views on the subject, condemning its indiscriminate use in 2006. in 2007, after extensive discussion, anvisa prohibited the manipulation of the substance in pharmacies (sr no. 2,732 / 2007).
