BackgroundModerate to severe soft tissue deficits can exist with craniofacial microsomia or progressive hemifacial atrophy. The authors reviewed the surgical correction of these defects, including serial autologous fat grafting and parascapular free tissue transfer. MethodsRecently treated patients at the Institute of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery at NYU Medical Center were identified. Patients with microvascular free flap underwent reconstruction with parascapular flaps. These flaps have been…

Soft Tissue Reconstruction in Patients With Hemifacial Microsomia: A Systematic Review of the Literature
TLDR
A systematic review of peer-reviewed literature addressing the techniques utilized to correct the soft tissue deformity in hemifacial microsomia found microvascular free tissue transfer likely provides greater volume than fat grafting at the cost of a higher complication rate.
Autologous Fat Graft for Soft Tissue Camouflage in Craniofacial Microsomia
TLDR
It is concluded that autologous fat transfer, when used for soft tissue camouflage, is a versatile, easy, effective, and inexpensive method for obtaining consistent long-term aesthetic goals in mild to moderate cases of craniofacial microsomia.
Treatment of Severe Hemifacial Atrophy With Dorsal Thoracic Adipofascial Free Flap and Concurrent Lipoinjection
TLDR
For patients with severe hemifacial atrophy with little or no bone involvement, dorsal thoracic adipofascial free flap and concurrent lipoinjection was a feasible and reliable reconstructive option.
Adjunct Procedures Related to Mandibular Reconstruction and Soft Tissue Facial Improvement
TLDR
Patients with microtia often experience varying degrees of mandibular, orbital, zygomatic, andsoft tissue insufficiencies that must be treated in a succinct order that optimizes skeletal and soft tissue alignment, without compromising tissues and vascular supplies ultimately required for microtian correction.
Temporomandibular Joint Dysplasia in Cranio-Maxillofacial Dysplasia: A Retrospective Study. Guideline Treatment Proposal.
TLDR
A retrospective study of 85 patients, with congenital condyle dysplasia arising from these 3 main types of CMD, treated with different techniques that aimed to normalize the facial skeleton and occlusion thinks that major defect in children should undergo costochondral grafting because of its growth potential while in case of minor defect, orthopedic treatment should be tried in the first place.
Onlay bone grafting simultaneous with facial soft tissue augmentation in a hemifacial microsomia patient using de-epithelialized orthograde submental flap: a technical note.
TLDR
Bone suture technique helps achieve more predictable results and reduces the need for postoperative bulky dressing in soft tissue augmentation patients with hemifacial microsomia.
The Current Status of the Autologous Fat Grafting for Pediatric Craniofacial Patients
TLDR
With the low complication rate and ease of use, selection of AFG for the repair of soft tissue defects in pediatric craniofacial patients is increasing and may come to surpass use of traditional invasive methods such as free flaps.
Autologous Free Fat Grafting for Management of the Facial Contour Asymmetry
TLDR
A significant improvement of facial contour symmetry was obtained in a subset of patients using fat grafting according to the SOBRAPAR Hospital algorithm.
Three-Dimensional Stereophotogrammetric Evaluation of the Efficacy of Autologous Fat Grafting in the Treatment of Parry-Romberg Syndrome
TLDR
The authors assessed the results of autologous fat grafting performed in a 15-year-old patient affected by Parry-Romberg syndrome, a rare condition resulting in progressive hemifacial atrophy of skin, subcutaneous tissues and, ultimately, bone.
The Versatility of Autologous Fat Transplantation in Correction of Facial Deformities: A Single-Center Experience
TLDR
The versatility and applicability of fat transplantation in a wide range of contour deformities in the craniofacial region is presented and the experiences in treating 13 patients with autoimmune disorders, congenital malformations, and acquired defects are shared.

Craniofacial Microsomia Soft-Tissue Reconstruction Comparison: Inframammary Extended Circumflex Scapular Flap versus Serial Fat Grafting
TLDR
Serial fat grafting provided a useful alternative to microvascular free tissue transfer after skeletal reconstruction in craniofacial microsomia patients, and physician and patient satisfaction was noted.
Microsurgical Correction of Facial Asymmetry in 60 Consecutive Cases
TLDR
It is felt that the operative approach presented here allows excellent and stable correction of facial asymmetry due to a variety of etiologies and is applicable to other congenital craniofacial deformities such as Treacher‐Collins syndrome and orbital‐facial clefts.
Restoration of facial contour in Romberg's disease and hemifacial microsomia: Experience with 118 cases
The experience with free flaps and conventional reconstructive procedures for 118 patients with Rombergapos;s disease and hemifacial microsomia over a 10‐year period is presented. The groin free flap…
Microvascular Free‐Flap Correction of Severe Hemifacial Atrophy
TLDR
The deepithelialized extended parascapular flap with large fascial extensions of dorsal thoracic fascia is the procedure of choice and limited recurrence of facial atrophy was seen in a single patient 2 years postoperatively.
Free Dermal Fat Flaps to the Face
TLDR
Results appear to indicate that free dermal fat flaps are useful in reconstructive procedures for patients with extensive facial defects.
Free dermal fat flaps to the face.
TLDR
Results appear to indicate that free dermal fat flaps are useful in reconstructive procedures for patients with extensive facial defects.
Surgical correction of hemifacial microsomia in the growing child.
TLDR
Early mandibular correction may obviate the need for maxillary and orbital procedures in adulthood, and there is a decrease in secondary deformity on the affected side, and the eventual overall facial growth is optimized.
The Use of Free Groin Flaps in Children
TLDR
The authors report 33 consecutive cases of free groin flaps in children in their unit over a period of 9 years (1992 to 2001), with the groin flap is a reliable flap that can be used safely in children, with minimal morbidity.
Extracorporeal fascia-fat flap for restoration of facial contour in progressive hemifacial atrophy.
Microsurgical Correction of Facial Contour in Congenital Craniofacial Malformations: The Marriage of Hard and Soft Tissue
TLDR
The experience with a minimum of 1‐year follow‐up over a 5‐year period with 19 patients who initially underwent standard facial skeletal reconstruction and subsequently required microsurgical soft‐tissue reconstructions for final correction of facial contour is presented.
