The progressive hemifacial atrophy (Parry-Romberg syndrome) is a rare disease of unknown etiology characterized by unilateral facial atrophy that affects skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscle, and rarely osteocartilaginous structures. Facial deformities caused by the disease cause social and psychological problems to affected patients. Treatment consists of correction of these deformities by replacing tissue that has been lost due to atrophy. Fill with grafts of dermal, fat, cartilage or bone, injection of silicone or acrylic prostheses are alternatives suggested to correct the facial atrophy. The aim of this study is to report a case of progressive hemifacial atrophy treated with dermis-fat graft and demonstrate that this surgical procedure may improve the aesthetic appearance of the patient's face and discuss the therapeutic aspects of this disorder.
