A 17-year-old presented with a four-year history of progressive atrophy of the soft tissues of the left side of her face. A diagnosis of facial hemiatrophy (Parry-Romberg syndrome) was made. (This patient and her parents have given explicit permission for her face to be visible in this presentation).

The patient was taken to the operating room for facial reconstruction using a scapular dermal-fat composite free flap. Doppler was used to localize and assess the two potential donor vessels, the superficial temporal, and the facial. The probe is on the pre-auricular portion of the superficial temporals.
