Abstract
ABSTRACT: Frey syndrome and facial contour deformity commonly occur after parotid surgery. Although the treatment of established Frey syndrome has focused on medical solutions, surgical solutions to established Frey syndrome have been less reported. Moreover, these methods may not resolve the facial depression. In the presented case here, we used 2-stage surgical approach with dermofat graft and lipofilling for the treatment of established Frey syndrome and facial depression deformity. We considered that this technique provides the easiest, most practical, satisfying, and effective solution for Frey syndrome that develops in the late follow-up period after superficial parotidectomy.
