Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) following cosmetic surgery seems to be rare and disastrous disease inducing sudden visual loss. Even if tough treatment is prescribed initially, the prognosis of visual recovery is more regretable. In this paper, we report one case of CRAO combined with ptosis resulting from simultaneous autologous fat injection and BoNT/A treatment in theglabellar area for cosmetic problems. We confirmed CRAO by fluorescein angiography. There are many possible causes of visual loss following cosmetic surgery; however, the commonest form is autologous fat injection up to now. To our knowledge, there have been little reports of CRAO combined with ptosis in autologous fat injection procedures. These facts must be kept in mind by all cosmetic plastic surgeons and ophthalmologists of the importance of careful measures and immediate treatment of iatrogenically induced ocular complications.
