title: A rare complication of reduction malarplasty.
abstract: In this report, the authors introduce a rare complication after reduction malarplasty in a 21-year-old male patient. The patient underwent two-jaw surgery and reduction malarplasty at a local plastic surgery clinic in December 2012. He presented with mass-like swelling of the left temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and a clicking sound with jaw movement that began 5 months after surgery. Physical examination, ultrasonography, and enhanced facial 3-dimensional computed tomography indicated suspicion of TMJ capsule injury. Therefore, mass excisional biopsy was performed with plate and screw removal. Biopsy results of the excised cystic mass revealed bursitis. The patient's symptoms disappeared after surgery. This is the first report of bursitis as a rare complication after reduction malarplasty.
