# Retained Foreign Bodies in the Facial Region: A Report of Two Cases

## TL;DR

This paper reports two cases where foreign objects were left in patients' faces after medical procedures, emphasizing the need for early detection and removal.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in highlighting retained foreign bodies in the facial region after minimally invasive procedures and stressing the importance of early intervention.

## Key findings

- Foreign bodies can be retained after procedures like liposuction or dental interventions.
- Early imaging and prompt removal are essential to avoid complications.
- Persistent cutaneous symptoms may indicate retained foreign bodies.

## Abstract

Iatrogenic retained foreign bodies can occur even after minimally invasive procedures like liposuction or dental interventions. Persistent or unexplained cutaneous symptoms should raise clinical suspicion. Early imaging and prompt removal are crucial to prevent complications and ensure patient safety.
