Frontotemporal Lipofilling for Plagiocephaly Sequelae.

Plagiocephaly patients generally undergo corrective surgery in the first years of life, but during their growth malformative sequelae become apparent and can have a negative psychological and social impact. Volumetric filling techniques have been used to improve social balance and minimize such negative effects.We present a case of a 25 years old male with a history of plagiocephaly corrected by 8 months of age. He kept a bilateral frontotemporal defect and we performed a lipofilling of the affected areas. The aesthetic results were very satisfactory and 6 months and 1 year after the procedure he maintained a good volumetric filling. There were no complications during or after the procedure.Lipofilling provides good contouring results and has low complication rates. Its major inconvenient is adipose tissue resorption.As illustrated by this case, this type of treatment significantly improves facial appearance, raising patients' self-esteem and quality of life.
