Abstract:
A 28-year-old female had a severe depressed deformity of the left cheek due to false local injection of ZnCl2 into her buccal mucosa instead of an anesthetic. After several attempts at plastic surgery in another hospital with unsatisfactory results, she was treated surgically in our clinic using cheek skin expanded by a tissue expander. The outcome was satisfactory.
