A 52-year-old female patient developed facial fat necrosis presenting with cutaneous induration three weeks after minimal access cranial suspension (MACS) lift with autologous fat grafting from the abdomen. Given that the patient received the Moderna SARS-CoV-2 vaccine one week after surgery, we hypothesize that the former predisposed her to tissue ischemia leading to fat necrosis. Histological findings after biopsy were consistent with fat necrosis, which included marked dermal fibrosis with areas of focal fat necrosis, lipophages, multinucleated giant cells, and siderophages. It is our hope that documenting this rare development in literature may serve as encouragement for adverse effect reporting after the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine administration and may boost inspection and monitoring of other health consequences by regulating agencies.
