[An oxycephaly deformation corrected with a fat tissue transplant]

Area of Science:

• Plastic Surgery
• Craniofacial Surgery

Background:

• Craniocephaly, specifically oxycephaly, presents as a regional morphologic anomaly.
• Standard surgical correction involves cranial osteotomy, which can be invasive.

Observation:

• A North African adult woman with undiagnosed oxycephaly experienced aesthetic concerns but no functional deficits.
• The patient declined standard surgical treatment, preferring a less invasive option.

Findings:

• A receding forehead was corrected using autologous fat grafting (lipostructure).
• Midface lifting was achieved through endoscopic suspension with ISSE APTOS threads.
• The combined procedure resulted in a stable and satisfactory aesthetic outcome at three years post-operation.

Implications:

• Lipostructure offers a minimally traumatic alternative for correcting oxycephaly.
• This case highlights the efficacy of combining fat grafting and endoscopic midface suspension for craniofacial deformities.
