Abstract
The augmentation of facial soft-tissue defects can pose a difficult problem for the
surgeon. Bone tends to resorb, giving unpredictable results, and alloplastic materials
are firm to the touch and can migrate in the tissues. The dermal-fat graft provides
a soft, natural-appearing augmentation. In the case reported here a 2-year follow-up
shows excellent results obtained with the use of a dermal-fat graft to augment a soft-tissue
defect over the mandible.
