Abstract

Background: Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS) is an enigmatic and acquired degenerative condition. It is characterized by a gradual and progressive facial hemiatrophy, after which facial deformities appear unexpectedly in a stable state. The degree of disfigurement depends on tissue involvement, illness onset, and duration. Nowadays, non-invasive treatments with lower morbidity, such as structured fat grafting (SFG) are preferred over traditional operations such as free flaps and bone grafts. However, for severe cases of PRS, multiple sessions of SFG are required.

Case Study: Despite the therapeutic failure that a 20-year-old lady had suffered after five previous conventional surgical procedures, the outcome was successful after only one surgical therapy employing a particular combination of SFG and malar silicone elastomers implant (SI).

Conclusion: The author highlights the interest in a combination of non-invasive procedures using SFG and malar augmentation with SI to repair large volume loss while improving symmetry and skin texture. Otherwise, the role of adipose-derived stem cells in fat survival is crucial and should be the focus of future studies and the key to technological advancement.
