Sweet syndrome following cervicofacial rhytidectomy: A case report.

Sweet syndrome is a rare inflammatory disorder characterized by fever, leukocytosis, and painful erythematous-violaceous plaques associated with a neutrophilic dermal infiltrate. This condition has never been described in the setting of aesthetic surgery. We report the case of a 60-year-old woman who developed Sweet syndrome following a cervicofacial rhytidectomy combined with blepharoplasty and lower eyelid lipofilling. The favorable outcome under systemic corticosteroid therapy highlights the importance of early diagnosis in order to avoid unnecessary surgical procedures.
