Abstract


The case is presented of a 58-year-old male patient, with an apparent health history, who refers to having received surgical treatment for a complex fracture of the middle third of the face (Lefort II and right malar III type fractures), who refers to aesthetic discomfort due to the post-traumatic facial deformity he presents. It was decided to admit him to the Maxillofacial Surgery Service of the Hospital Universitario “General Calixto García” for treatment. Post-traumatic deformity secondary to a complex facial fracture and its consequent aesthetic damage was diagnosed. The results achieved with the use of abdominal fatty tissue lipotransfer for the treatment of facial deformity were satisfactory with permanence and stability in one year, while meeting the patient’s expectations. Lipotransfer is a viable alternative in the treatment of acquired facial deformities.
