Article Abstract
We describe two cases of ocular complications secondary to Diode laser assisted eyebrow epilation. Both included patients were women who underwent an eyebrow epilation procedure with Diode laser. A few hours after the procedure they started complaining with photophobia and blurred vision. They were diagnosed with anterior acute uveitis and treated with topical steroids and mydriatics. During the follow-up the presence of sequelae derived from the laser procedure (mydriasis and corectopia in both patients, cataract in the second one) was confirmed. Laser hair removal of the eyebrows can induce irreversible eye damage. Complete and reliable information regarding the potential side effects of this procedure and proper use of appropriate safety devices is mandatory. We point out the importance of the potential ocular side effects associated with these cosmetic devices.

Tissue expansion is a handy reconstructive technique for the head and neck region; however, its implementation requires careful planning and surgical experience. If tissue expansion is inadequate, forced closure results in wound tension and risks complications, such as postoperative deformity, wide scarring, and wound dehiscence. We report a case of adult forehead melanocytic nevus excision using a tissue expander (TE) where complications caused by insufficient tissue expansion were avoided by creating a flap using a dog ear.
