Parry-Romberg syndrome is an uncommon self-limiting condition principally affecting the adipose tissue of the face. Six patients have undergone the microfat injection technique. The follow-up of 18 months confirms the usefulness of microlipoinjection in the treatment of the soft tissue deformity of the face.
