Severe frostbite complication after cryolipolysis: A case report

Published inJPRAS Open, vol. 25, p. 46-51
Publication date2020
Abstract

This case report describes a full-thickness frostbite complication following cryolipolysis for subcutaneous fat reduction performed in a non-medical esthetic clinic. The deep and large abdominal wound (15 × 12 cm) required hospitalization and multiple surgical debridement before a two-step direct closure. Even though cryolipolysis is considered as a non-invasive and safe technique to reduce local adiposity, it could present some side-effects and complications. Health-care professionals should be aware of these risks and inform their patients about its potential sequelae.
