UNLABELLED Distraction osteogenesis has been extensively used to correct severe midface hypoplasia in syndromic craniosynostosis patients. However few studies have reported midface distraction outcomes through cephalometric evaluation. AIM The purpose of the present study was to evaluate outcomes with midface distraction rigid external device (RED) in patients with syndromic craniosynostosis,...

We report a 4 year old boy in whom the clinical features of craniosynostosis and bilateral absent radii led to a diagnosis of Baller-Gerold syndrome. Additional congenital abnormalities included midface hypoplasia, atrial and ventricular septal defects, right hydronephrosis, partial sacral agenesis, and anterior ectopic anus. Evidence of portal venous hypertension was present from 8 months and ...

>Malignancies of the midface result in cosmetic deformities that make maxillofacial prosthesis as an integral part of the treatment plan. Facial defects can be devastating in their impact on physical structure and function of the affected individual, leading to potentional compromises in quality of life. Reconstruction of nasal defects is a challenge for the prosthodontist because of esthetic a...

BACKGROUND In nonsurgical facial rejuvenation, autologous fat and dermal fillers have become an effective method to achieve symmetry and balance of the midface. Nonsurgical techniques that target the dynamic anatomical relationships existing in the midface can improve rejuvenation outcomes in this commonly augmented region. OBJECTIVES The authors described techniques for fat compartment and p...

OBJECTIVE To report our experience in a case series of 5 posterior scalping flaps. DESIGN Retrospective review of a case series. SETTING A tertiary academic care otolaryngology-head and neck surgery referral center. PATIENTS Five patients having undergone posterior scalping flap reconstruction of cutaneous midface defects. METHODS Reconstruction was performed for 4 cheek defects, 1 of w...

IMPORTANCE The value of this study is to evaluate outcomes of endoscopic forehead-midface-lift surgery. Many surgeons are reluctant to offer this procedure for fear of change in the shape and appearance of the eyelid. OBJECTIVE To objectively evaluate the change in lateral canthal position following endoscopic forehead-midface-lift surgery. DESIGN A retrospective review of consecutive patie...

The molecular mechanisms by which the primordia of the midface grow and fuse to form the primary palate are not well characterized. This is in spite of the fact that failure of growth and/or fusion of these facial primordia leads to the common human craniofacial birth defects, clefts of the lip with or without clefts of the palate. Members of the transforming growth factor beta (Tgfbeta) superf...

OBJECTIVE To identify whether the deep-plane face-lift or the extended transtemporal subperiosteal midface-lift is more effective in correcting midfacial ptosis. METHODS Five cadaveric dissections were performed with a unilateral transtemporal subperiosteal midface-lift followed by a deep-plane face-lift on the same hemihead. Three suspension sutures were evaluated-transtemporal midface-lift,...
