Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Buccal fat pad removal (BFPR) enhances facial contour but can cause parotid duct injury. This study reviews BFPR anatomy, presents a case, and proposes a management algorithm for this complication.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Facial Aesthetics
  • Surgical Anatomy

Background:

  • Facial aesthetics increasingly focus on 3D topography and midface volumization.
  • Intraoral buccal fat pad removal (BFPR) is a popular procedure for midface contouring.
  • Iatrogenic parotid duct injury is an underreported complication of BFPR.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Review relevant anatomy and literature on intraoral BFPR.
  • Present a case of iatrogenic parotid duct injury following BFPR.
  • Discuss treatment options and propose a management algorithm for this complication.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of intraoral BFPR and parotid duct anatomy.
  • Case presentation of a patient with parotid duct injury post-BFPR.
  • Development of a diagnostic and management algorithm for suspected parotid duct injury.

Main Results:

  • Detailed review of surgical indications and anatomic considerations for BFPR.
  • Outline of complication prevention strategies, focusing on parotid duct injury avoidance.
  • Comprehensive description of diagnostic criteria and clinical presentation of parotid duct injuries.

Conclusions:

  • Intraoral BFPR is valuable for improving facial contour in select patients.
  • A systematic diagnostic approach and treatment algorithm are proposed for managing parotid duct injury.
  • Proper understanding of anatomy and technique can prevent and manage this complication.
