SKELETAL DEFICIENCY
https://t.me/medicina_free
Craniofacial deformities that are disfiguring and are of functional consequence
to vision, breathing, and mastication usually require skeletal osteotomies and
rearrangement as treatment. Less severe midface and mandibular hypoplasia are common facial skeletal variants. In patients with these morphologies,
occlusion is normal or has been compensated by orthodontics. These patients
have neither respiratory nor ocular compromise. In skeletally deficient patients
whose occlusion is normal or has been previously normalized by orthodontics,
skeletal repositioning would necessitate additional orthodontic tooth movement. Such a treatment plan is time-consuming, costly, and potentially morbid. It is, therefore, appealing to few patients. In these patients, the appearance
of skeletal osteotomies and rearrangements can be simulated through the use
of facial implants. Diagrammatic representations of how implant surgery can
mimic the appearance of skeletal osteotomies are shown in Figs. 1.3 and 1.4.

CONGENITAL DEFORMITIES
Patients with craniofacial syndrome microforms and those with previously
corrected syndromic deficiencies can often benefit from implant augmentation. Fig. 1.6 shows a patient with Treacher–Collins syndrome whose orbito-
malar area was reconstructed with porous polyethylene implants. Fig. 1.7
shows a 30-year-old woman with Stickler syndrome who had undergone
monobloc facial advancement surgery as a child. Forehead contour and
supraorbital rim–globe relationships were improved with an acrylic onlay
cranioplasty.

POSTTRAUMATIC AND POSTABLATIVE DEFORMITIES
Posttraumatic and postablative deformities may also benefit from alloplastic implant reconstruction. Indications for alloplastic replacement
of the craniofacial skeleton are limited. These areas must be non-loadbearing and protected from sinus exposure. Replacement in load-bearing
areas inevitably leads to micromotion at the implant–bone interface with
bone erosion and subsequent implant extrusion. Implants that are chronically exposed to the sinuses are inevitably contaminated with bacteria
and may be lost to infection. Portions of the cranial vault (Chapter 5) and
internal orbit (Chapter 7) are the areas reliably replaced by alloplastic
implants.
Fig. 1.8 shows the reconstruction of a posttraumatic orbitomalar facial
deformity using alloplastic implants. Fig. 1.9 shows alloplastic implant
reconstruction of a non-load-bearing area of the facial skeleton after tumor
extirpation.

SKELETAL VERSUS SOFT TISSUE AUGMENTATION
Plastic surgery’s last decade is notable for its recognition that aging is accompanied by facial soft tissue atrophy. Facial rejuvenation surgery is no longer
one of simple excising and tightening. The value of soft tissue repositioning and augmentation have been recognized and exploited. Unfortunately,
since the ultimate expression of skeletal or soft tissue structure is reflected
on the skin’s surface, some surgeons have used this as a justification for the
equivalence and interchangeability of soft and hard tissue augmentation.
For example, malar skeletal implants are used to restore cheek fullness while
fat grafts are used to create malar skeletal prominence. Up to a millimeter
or so, the visual effect of either augmentation modality may be equivalent,
depending on the thickness of the overlying soft tissue envelope. However,
beyond a minimal augmentation, the visual effects of these modalities are
markedly different. This is easily conceptualized when envisioning large
augmentations. A large implant placed on the malar bone will make the
cheek project more, making the face more defined and angular, therefore
making the face appear thinner and more skeletal. Large implants placed
in patients with thin soft tissue envelopes will become increasingly visible
with aging (Fig. 1.10). With implant selection, the surgeon should remember
that soft tissues change over time, while implants do not. Implanting fat
into the cheeks will also make the cheeks project more; however, the face
will appear increasingly round, and therefore less defined and less angular
(Fig. 1.11).

Soft tissues change with time,
implants don’t.
Although there is limited
interchangeability between soft
tissue and skeletal augmentation,
they can certainly be complementary.
Many patients can benet from both
volumetric increase in their soft tissue
envelope and an increase in their
skeletal projection.

Evaluation and planning for facial
implant surgery
Physical examination is the most important element of preoperative assessment
and planning for both reconstructive and cosmetic procedures. Reviewing photographic images with the patient can be helpful when discussing aesthetic
concerns and goals.
All faces are asymmetric. Asymmetries are usually subtle but, with sufficient
scrutiny, detectable (Fig. 2.1).
Their recognition preoperatively is important to both the surgeon and the
patient. The patient’s asymmetry should be pointed out during the preoperative
consultation so that the patient can anticipate asymmetry in the postoperative
result. Preoperatively, the asymmetries belong to the patient. Postoperatively, if
not identified before the surgery, they are attributed to the surgeon.
As asymmetries become more severe, it is important to recognize that they
are more complex than relative skeletal deficiencies or excesses. Rather, they
reflect three-dimensional differences that are most easily conceptualized as
twists of the facial skeleton.
PEARL
Always describe a patient’s
asymmetry during preoperative
consultation.

Most aesthetic procedures are done without preoperative radiologic assessment. In general, the size and position of the implant are largely aesthetic

judgments. Cephalometric X-rays are most often used for planning chin and
mandibular augmentation surgery. These studies define skeletal dimensions and
asymmetries as well as the thickness of the chin pad.
While preoperative radiologic examination is uncommon for purely aesthetic surgery, computed tomographic (CT) evaluation is almost routine for
reconstructive procedures. CT scans provide the ability to view the skeleton
in different planes and, through computer manipulation, in three dimensions.
CT imaging provides digitized information that can be transferred to design
software. CAD/CAM implants provide an increased level of refinement in both
reconstructive and aesthetic applications. This modality has been used since
the 1990s to reconstruct cranial defects. Computer-aided design (CAD) and
computer-aided manufacture (CAM) can be used to create life-sized models for
surgical planning (Fig. 2.2) and implants customized for the needs of the patient
(Fig. 2.3).
The design process can also be conducted virtually as demonstrated in Fig. 2.4.
The CAD/CAM process is the focus of Chapters 14 and 15.
Cone beam CT scans are available in many dental offices. They have the
advantages of less expense and less radiation exposure to the patient. They can
provide three-dimensional images of the facial skeleton and are therefore valuable in planning. Because their field is limited and head-positioning devices
distort the soft tissue envelope, cone beam CT has a limited role in the CAD/
CAM implant process.
Magnetic resonance imaging, invaluable for soft tissue assessment, does not
have a role in skeletal evaluation and implant surgery planning.
Fig. 2.2 CT scan data was used to fabricate a
skull model in planning surgery for a patient
with facial asymmetry.
FACIAL MEASUREMENTS
For most reconstructive problems, surgery is performed to return the involved
area to its original appearance, or, if that is not possible, to one that is symmetric
and accepted as normal. When alloplastic implants are used to make the face
more attractive, the aesthetic goal is more arbitrary. Because implant augmentation of the facial skeleton results in measurable changes in facial dimensions
and proportions, it is intuitively attractive and appropriate to use facial measurements to evaluate the face and to guide surgery.
Mathematical ideals
In his book on Leonardo da Vinci’s anatomical drawings, Martin Clayton
explains how mathematical ideals influenced classical and Renaissance artists in their perception and depiction of the human body.1 The ancient Greeks
observed that musical notes created by strings whose lengths were in simple
numeric ratios were intrinsically pleasing. They extended this concept to spatial intervals and established the concept that harmonic ratios were intrinsically
“right” and thus fundamental to the structure of the universe. In the 1st century
BC, Vitruvius adapted the proportional concept to the human body. He proposed that the body should be divisible into equal parts, and that all of its units
should be expressible in terms of that unit or fractions of the whole. His treatise
De architectura, which describes his proportional system, was one of the few
classical texts that survived to the Renaissance and became highly influential in
the thinking of artists and scholars of that time, including Leonardo da Vinci.
Early in his career, Leonardo adopted many of Vitruvius’ ratios. Most of us
14
today associate Leonardo’s anatomic drawings with his rendition of Vitruvius’
