Patient Concerns:
The authors report 2 cases of obstructive parotitis, arising as a complication of facial cosmetic surgery that were treated successfully using sialendoscopic procedures.
Diagnosis:
A diagnosis of parotid ductal stenosis was made based on medical history, clinical manifestations, imaging studies, and sialendoscopic findings for the 2 patients.
Interventions:
The successful sialendoscopic procedures was given to the 2 patients.
Outcomes:
The 2 patients have shown no recurrent symptoms during follow-up.
Lessons:
