Facial hemiatrophy, or Parry-Romberg syndrome, is characterized by the progressive atrophy of the tissues of half of the face, affecting skin and subcutaneous tissue. Its clinical manifestations are very varied. Preferred therapeutic strategies for the treatment of the syndrome were not yet completely established. The authors describe a case of mild facial hemiatrophy, in which the patient underwent lipofilling (autologous fat grafting), progressing with satisfactory result. Treatment alternatives, its advantages and disadvantages are widely discussed in the study, with fat grafting emerging as an excellent therapeutic option due to its safety, low cost and replicability.
