This study discusses facial hemiatrophy secondary to linear scleroderma, reviewing causes and treatments. For severe cases, free flap reconstruction, particularly inverted dermal fat flaps, is recommended for optimal facial contouring.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Facial hemiatrophy presents diverse etiologies, including linear scleroderma.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management of facial asymmetry.

Observation:

  • A case of facial hemiatrophy secondary to linear scleroderma is presented.
  • Review of various etiologies and treatment modalities for facial hemiatrophy.

Findings:

  • Free flap reconstruction is the preferred treatment for severe facial hemiatrophy.
  • Inverted dermal fat flaps offer advantages like reduced ptosis and improved facial contours without laparotomy.

Implications:

  • This approach provides a refined surgical option for complex facial reconstruction.
