Congenital infiltrating lipomatosis of the face: case report with presentation of a new multi-step surgical approach

This report describes the first case of congenital infiltrating lipomatosis of the face (CIL-F) that is successfully managed with two-jaw orthognathic surgery. The patient has been followed from the age of 4 to the age of 18. The multistep approach used consisted of a facelift-type procedure at age 12, to improve the soft tissue profile. At age 13, the transverse maxillary deficiency was treated with transpalatal distraction and at age 14 he underwent bimaxillary orthognathic surgery with a genioplasty.
