Subcutaneous emphysema is relatively rare postoperative complication in the oral and maxillofacial region. Most cases reported in maxillofacial area relate to the use of high-speed handpiece. However, in this case, subcutaneous emphysema was caused by compressed air blow performed during suture removal .

In this report, we describe etiology, diagnosis, prevention and management of subcutaneous emphysema in the maxillofacial area.
