Following facelift surgery, a number of complications can occur. Some of the most common postoperative facelift complications are hematoma, bleeding, infection, injury to the nerves that control facial muscles, problems with healing of the skin, scarring crust on the incisions, numbness or tingling around the incision areas, skin or hair loss, and skin discoloration. The risk of nerve damage or infection after a facelift surgery is low but does exist. We report a case of severe pneumocephalus after facelift, which to our knowledge is the first such report in the literature.
