A rare case of microblading-induced preseptal cellulitis

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: Cosmetic tattooing has gained popularity over the past several decades. Microblading is a method of semipermanent eyebrow tattooing that has become mainstream in recent years. With this technique, individuals are provided with eyebrow pigment that lasts longer and is more convenient than the traditional eyebrow pencil. Other forms of semipermanent makeup include lip blush, eyebrow tattoos, eyeliner tattoos, freckle tattoos, and scar camouflage. Infection is a rare but major complication of cosmetic tattooing that is rarely documented in the literature.
