J Craniofac Surg. 2012 Nov;23(6):e621-3. doi: 10.1097/SCS.0b013e318270f9cb.

Abstract

Parry-Romberg syndrome is a disease characterized by progressive hemifacial atrophy. Multiple surgical procedures have been used to improve the facial volume and contours of patients with this disease, including alloplastic, silicone, or collagen implants; lipofilling; and pedicled or free-flap transplants. The present case describes the successful application of lipostructure to treat a woman with Parry-Romberg syndrome affecting the left side of her face.
