Resumo
Hemifacial microsomia (HMF) is a morphological alteration characterized by facial deformities. These alterations are a con sequence of a congenital anomalous development of the first and second branchial arches. It may present a genetic or
environmental origin or a mixture of both and is considered mostly multifactorial. The clinical presentation varies; however,
some characteristics are predominant such as unilateral mandible hypoplasia, agenesis or malformation of the auricular
pavilion, and agenesis or malformation of the eye globe. The aim of this paper was to report a clinical case of a patient with
late diagnosis of HMF which presented multiple deformities and received treatment with polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)
implant in different concentrations. Aiming for facial harmony, the PMMA implant occurred in the following regions: canine
fossa, nasolabial sulcus, mandible, Bichat Ball, chin outline, lip contour, nose base, columella, nose tip, and dorsum. The
treatment resulted in significant improvement in the facial symmetry.
