Abstract
Objective: Present a case report of a therapeutic proposal for seroma, diagnosed by ultrasound, which developed ten days after a bichectomy surgery in a 35-year-old female patient. Details of the case: The aesthetic indication for bichectomy was performed for facial design. Several complications can be observed in this type of procedure, however, the diagnosis of seroma seems to present rarity. After ten days, the presence of a large edema was observed in the region of the surgery on the left side. The patient was treated with antibiotics and drainages of the exudate until the complete collapse of the internal walls of the lesion. Final considerations: The occurrence of seroma after bichectomy may be associated with previous focuses of oral infection and the use of electrocautery and that the therapeutic proposal by means of antibiotic therapy associated with periodic drainages resulted in healing of the lesion.
