title: Correction of severe hemifacial atrophy with a free dermis-flat from the lower abdomen.
abstract: A case of hemifacial atrophy was corrected with a free dermal-fat flap, based on the inferior epigastric vessels. Microvascular anastomosis to the facial vessels was used. Ancillary "tailoring" procedures were done later to complete the work.
