Liposuction is a widely performed aesthetic plastic surgery procedure used for various purposes. The use of advanced liposuction techniques has reduced the risk of complications. Nevertheless, they can still occur unexpectedly. Herein, we report a rare case of a 44-year-old patient who experienced a broken cannula tip lodged in her neck during cervicofacial liposuction. This case highlights the need for vigilance in preventing such complications through rigorous preoperative equipment inspections and proper instrument maintenance. Additionally, when attempting to remove a broken instrument tip, it is crucial to perform imaging examinations both before and during the procedure to precisely locate and extract the fragments, ensuring patient safety and a successful outcome.
抽脂术是一种广泛应用于各种目的的美容整形手术。先进抽脂技术的使用降低了并发症的风险。然而，并发症仍可能意外发生。在此，我们报告一例罕见病例，一名44岁患者在颈面部抽脂术中出现套管尖端断裂并卡在颈部。该病例强调了通过严格的术前设备检查和适当的器械维护来预防此类并发症的必要性。此外，在试图取出断裂的器械尖端时，在手术前和手术过程中进行影像学检查以精确定位和取出碎片至关重要，这可确保患者安全并获得成功的结果。
