[An oxycephaly deformation corrected with a fat tissue transplant].
We present the case of a North African adult woman with a craniocephaly (oxycephaly) typical of the region. Her morphologic anomaly was never officially diagnosed. The patient suffered esthetic but no functional impairment from the oxycephaly. She had no headaches or visual impairment. She refused the standard treatment, cranial osteotomy (forehead reshaping), and desired a less-invasive procedure. We corrected the receding forehead with the help of a tissue (fat) transplant (lipostructure(®)). The midface was lifted in an endoscopic procedure using ISSE APTOS suspensions. Three years later, the result is fine and stable. Many techniques exist to correct this deformity; but the lipostructure(®) initiated by Coleman is a method to correct the oxycephaly with minimal trauma.
