Abstract
Rejuvenation procedures, especially facelift are nowadays common type of cosmetic surgery. According to the statistical data, facelifts were the seventh most popular aesthetic surgery performed after liposuction, breast augmentation, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), breast reduction and rhinoplasty. The most common complication after surgery is bleeding. Less common, but potentially serious, complications may include damage to the facial nerves and necrosis of the skin flaps, infection and damage of parotid duct. We present a case of 50 years old woman, who has undergone facelift surgery with damage of parotid duct and consequently formation of sialocele. Localisation of damage and repair of dissected Stensen's duct was performed using external approach. The duct was sutured end to end using intraductal stent. After 3 weeks stent was removed. We observed normal saliva flow from natural orifice of parotid gland.
