A Rare Case of Microblading Complicated by Orbital Exenteration and Frontal Defect Reconstructed Using Crane Principle

Abstract

Summary: This is a case of a rare complication of microblading in a middle-aged woman in a developing country, resulting in a right orbital exenteration and a forehead defect associated with bone exposure reconstructed using the crane principle. To the best of our knowledge, this case is the first one to report such an entity. We are aiming to highlight the importance of proper hygiene in such cosmetic procedures and to shed light on the crane principle as a suitable reconstructive choice, especially in circumstances where other reconstructive options are not available, or in specific situations like mass causalities when shorter operation time is required.
