안면윤곽술 Facial Bone Contouring

Orthognathic surgery can result in long-term neurosensory disturbances (NSDs), particularly involving the inferior alveolar nerve, which may influence patient quality of life (QoL). This retrospective study evaluated the relationship betwee…

[OBJECTIVES] To propose a novel registration method based on partial point cloud registration for transoral robot-assisted zygoma fracture surgery and validate its accuracy via a phantom study. [METHODS] This study comprised two validation…

: Unilateral condylar hyperplasia is an idiopathic condition that causes facial asymmetry and occlusal problems. Currently, traditional treatment protocol is the combination of orthognathic and extra-oral condylectomy surgery via pre-auricu…

This study aimed to analyse the spectrum of unsatisfactory outcomes requiring secondary surgery, the technical challenges involved, and the results achieved in a cohort of patients undergoing reoperative orthognathic surgery. A retrospectiv…

Aesthetic surgery is commonly framed as a technical modification of anatomic structures. Yet patients rarely seek surgery for tissue alone; they seek transformation within a visual and social field. Drawing on the philosophy of Maurice Merl…

[BACKGROUND] Reduction malarplasty is a widely performed facial contouring procedure, particularly in Asian populations, to achieve a slimmer and more oval facial shape. While various surgical techniques exist, there is a lack of standardiz…

[BACKGROUND] Outpatient orthognathic surgery has garnered increasing interest amid rising health care costs and the growing adoption of enhanced recovery after surgery protocols. However, the safety of same-day discharge remains unclear. […

[BACKGROUND] LaserLift is a minimally invasive laser procedure that involves a revolutionary technology for contouring the lower face and neck. This procedure uses a 1440-nm Nd:YAG laser designed for small areas, thereby providing a less in…

[BACKGROUND] Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are widely regarded as safe and effective for soft tissue augmentation, including correction of nasolabial folds, wrinkles, lips, and facial contouring. Despite favorable clinical outcomes, long-ter…

Orthognathic surgery restores functional balance and facial esthetics in patients with dentofacial deformities. The use of adjunctive facial implants-made from materials such as porous polyethylene, titanium, or polyetheretherketone (PEEK)-…

Orthognathic surgery is widely used to correct dentofacial deformities. Recent advancements in virtual surgical planning have enhanced the precision of these procedures. However, ensuring the surgical outcome reflects the virtual plan remai…

[BACKGROUND] Craniomaxillofacial trauma is a common occurrence in adults, often resulting from vehicle accidents, assaults, sports injuries, working accidents, and others. The primary goal of craniomaxillofacial trauma surgery is to restore…

[BACKGROUND] Relative chin prominence is commonly observed in certain Class II malocclusion morphotypes, particularly in deep bite and Class II Division 2 patterns. Despite mandibular retrusion, soft tissue volume and anterior mandibular ro…

[BACKGROUND] Three-dimensional (3D) stereophotogrammetry has become an essential tool in anthropometry for both clinical and aesthetic purposes. However, to our knowledge, no standardized and validated 3D protocol specifically targeting the…

Patients with chin deficiency secondary to dentofacial deformity often present with aesthetic and functional complaints. Treatment of such deficiencies with conventional genioplasty may be limited when broader modification of the mandibular…

[BACKGROUND AND AIM] The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the two-three-point injection technique using hyaluronic acid fillers to increase chin volume. [METHOD] The present study included three RCT and three cohort stu…

Silicone chin implants have been widely used is plastic and esthetic surgery of the face being considered as safe and efficient way for chin augmentation. However, complications such as bone resorption, displacement or ectopic bone formatio…

[BACKGROUND] Le Fort I maxillary osteotomy involves surgical manipulation near critical anatomical structures, including the lateral nasal wall (LNW), which may lead to complications such as improper bone separation and nasal mucosal perfor…

[BACKGROUND] Gummy smile (GS), defined as excessive gingival display, compromises facial harmony and self-confidence. Traditional treatments, including orthognathic surgery, botulinum toxin (BTX-A), and lip repositioning, carry limitations …

Reporting the 50 most cited manuscripts on virtual surgical planning (VSP) for craniofacial surgery, thereby providing a comprehensive review of landmark papers. The Web of Science Citation Index was used to identify the 50 most cited manu…
