Abstract:

Objective This study aims to illustrate some cases of postrhinoplasty that presented with abscesses and skin tracts.
Methods In a case series of 11 patients who presented with post-rhinoplasty abscess or skin tract, we try to consider the interval, etiology, risk factors, age, and gender to mention the possibility of the presence of skin tract as a post-rhinoplastic sequel.
Results In 11 patients (4 females,7 males) we discovered 5 cases of skin tract that probably occurred due to remaining suture.
Conclusion: The allergic history of patients should be considered and the suturing method and kind of material should be noticed.Positive habitual history should be considered before surgery in case selection and the smoker patients have to be advised to reduce or quit smoking.
