Ophthalmologic Complications Associated With Oculofacial Plastic and Esthetic Surgeries.
Journal of Craniofacial Surgery 2018 July
PURPOSE: To assess the ophthalmologic complications after oculofacial plastic and esthetic surgeries, including their incidence and management.
METHODS: A retrospective study was performed on 110 patients who presented with ocular complications followed by oculofacial plastic and esthetic surgeries from January 2014 to December 2015. The incidence and management of complications after each surgery or procedure were analyzed.
RESULTS: For lower eyelid blepharoplasty, the common complications were chemosis and lower eyelid ectropion. There was also a case of canalicular laceration. Exposure keratitis and corneal abrasion were the most common complications after upper eyelid blepharoplasty. Chemosis frequently occurred after lateral cathoplasty, but other complications, such as ectropion, trichiasis, and lacrimal fistula, were also seen. Nasolacrimal duct obstruction occurred in some cases of orthognathic surgery, and was managed with endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy. Inflammatory lipogranuloma was a common complication after autologous fat transplantation.
CONCLUSION: Complications after oculofacial plastic and esthetic surgeries are not rare. Ophthalmologists must be aware of not only common complications but also rare and possibly serious conditions that may occur after such surgeries.
