However, the vast majority of patients with connective tissue disorders have great concerns over changing facial features, and this worsens with age.
Materials / method: Scleroderma en coup de sabre, morphea, discoid lupus erythematosus lesions are disfiguring diseases for which only limited therapeutic options exist for cutaneous complications. Fillers, botulinum toxins, autologous fat transplantation and lasers were succesfully used to correct the atrophic and scatricial defects during inactive period of connective tissue disorders.
Results: Cosmetic correction of stable connective tissue disorders using several techniques has been variably effective in isolated case reports and small case series. The score systems are used to measure connective tissue disorders activity.
