The cure without after-effect of an hemangioma is classic but sometimes the spontaneous involution, a premature surgical treatment or an evolutionary complication can be at the origin of a definitive after-effect. In these cases, the treatment of the hemangioma, often multidisciplinary, will be begun in a late way during the late childhood or the adolescence. Surgical excision of an excess tissue or of a wide scar, lipoaspiration of a fat remainder, lasertherapy and fat tissue reinjection are simple and mostly sufficient procedures. In the most complex cases, notably at the facial site, a surgery heavier as a rhinoplasty, a resection of lip, a local flap or orthognatic surgery can be necessary.
