Varicella Manifestation after Mastopexy with Simultaneous Breast Augmentation
Summary:. We report on a rare case of primary varicella infection manifestation in the early postoperative period after mastopexy with simultaneous breast augmentation that caused dehiscence of surgical wound edges and spread of infection to a subcutaneous fat layer, leading to unaesthetic scarring....

| description | Summary:. We report on a rare case of primary varicella infection manifestation in the early postoperative period after mastopexy with simultaneous breast augmentation that caused dehiscence of surgical wound edges and spread of infection to a subcutaneous fat layer, leading to unaesthetic scarring. Whether such dehiscence in the background of varicella occurred coincidentally or was specifically triggered by the infection is unknown. The treatment is comprised of oral antiviral therapy, surgical wound debridement, and topical application of antiseptic solutions and ointments. We would like to raise awareness of the existence of such a rare case of chickenpox in an early postoperative period of a plastic surgery patient. Thereby, physicians can recognize it, test for it, and treat it promptly and appropriately. Also, we recommend taking a detailed history of infectious diseases. |
