Pyoderma Gangrenosum after Facelift and Otoplasty Surgery: Case Presentations and Literature Review

Pyoderma gangranosum (PG) is an uncommon autoimmune, neutrophilic, ulcerative skin condition of uncertain etiology, believed to result from a dysregulation of the immune system. Although this entity is well recognized by dermatologists, other specialties are less familiar with diagnosis and treatment. This paper reports a severe PG reaction to an elective cosmetic facelift which is believed to be the second reported case of PG after facelift surgery. A second case is reported after otoplasty surgery.
