Purpose: This article describes a rare occurrence of acute vision loss in a healthy young patient after a cosmetic procedure.

Methods: Findings on clinical examination, color fundus photography, and swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography.

Results: A previously healthy 26-year-old male-to-female transsexual presented with dyspnea, fever, and hypoxemia 1 day after cosmetic injection of industrial silicone for buttock augmentation.

Optical coherence tomography angiography artifactual choroidal neovascularization in optic disc pit maculopathy.
