Abstract
Treatment of hemifacial atrophy is a challenge for oral & maxillofacial surgeons. The surgical approach basically focused on skeletal correction so that the overlying soft tissues can be improved by the osseous change of the skeleton. However, the treatment ends up with insufficient soft tissue mophology in most cases even after skeletal correction. Therefore comprehensive hard and soft tissue reconstruction is needed for treating the hemifacial atrophy. In this case report, we experienced a successful result after combined orthognathic and microvascular adipofascial flap reconstruction for hemifacial atrophy patient.
