Parry first described the syndrome of progressive facial atrophy in 1825, followed by Romberg in 1846. The clinical hallmark of the syndrome is atrophy of the facial soft tissues, including fat and muscle as well as underlying bone. Clinicians have classically reserved treatment until the end of the disease process, after the burn out stage. Various treatment modalities have been attempted with differing results. In this study, we present a case of Parry-Romberg syndrome treated with autologous fat grafting. This case report reviews the history of the disease, examines the safety and clinical outcomes of fat grafting as a treatment modality, and challenges the classic timing of that treatment. Additionally, long-term follow-up with photos and histological analysis of specimens are included.
