Postmentoplasty hemorrhage from pseudoaneurysm of the inferior labial artery.
A 29-year-old woman underwent rhinoplasty and augmentation mentoplasty. She subsequently developed a pseudoaneurysm of the inferior labial artery. This was responsible for three episodes of delayed, major postoperative bleeding before the lesion was identified and the aneurysm ligated. She has had no further episodes of bleeding.
