Abstract

Introduction: Bichatectomy is one of the most common surgeries of the face, but in any of all the hands, it could be a complication, and the most difficult to treat is the Sialocele, so we made an easy way to treat it, and solve it.

Surgical Approach: We present a case of a young female, after the bichatectomy in the 5^th day the middle face a Tumor, so we decided to create a new stenon duct, with a drainaige in anatomical position, getting a good result at the moment.

Discusion: The bichectomy has an important historical antecedent since in the beginning it was a surgery even without importance in the medical field. The removal of Bichat fat currently has more aesthetic than reconstructive purposes, so the increase of the Sialocele is more tan 3% independent the hands of the surgeon.

Conclusion: During the complications of bichatectomy, we decide to create an alternative for the surgeons that are in training, and an easy way to solve it.
