- Abstract
- The facelift is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery methods of antiaging. There are many complications in facelift, but infections rarely occur relatively. The authors would like to introduce a patient who developed infection after a facelift procedure. The cause of the infection was preauricular sinus, one of the congenital anomalies. The patient was treated with complete excision of sinus tract and the patient was treated without any further complications. Based on this clinical report, surgeons performing cosmetic surgery need to be interested in rare congenital lesions such as preauricular sinus.
