Sialocele following excision of delayed-onset inflamed facial fat graft: A case report
Delayed inflammation may develop after autologous fat grafting, occasionally necessitating surgical intervention. Surgical excision in the deep midface region poses a risk of intraoperative parotid injury. Awareness of this potential complication is important, and conservative management can often effectively treat parotid leakage or sialocele without further surgery in selected cases.
