Abstract

Rhinoplasty is rarely complicated with infection. We present a case of necrotizing periorbital cellulitis that developed in an 18-year-old woman following aesthetic rhinoplasty. The clinical manifestations consisted of swelling of the eyelids and necrosis of the lower eyelid regions, accompanied by high fever. Streptococcus pyogenes was isolated from the wound. The patient responded well to administration of intravenous amoxycillin/clavulanate and conservative local treatment. The infection resolved uneventfully. At 2-year follow-up, the cosmetic result was excellent.
