procedure. Malar augmentation alone widens the midface, which tends to exag­gerate an upper midface parasagittal deficiency potentially creating another imbalance. Hence, increasing the projection of the infraorbital rim is considered the critical element in creating midface balance after Le Fort I advancement, with malar augmentation often an appropriate adjunct.5 
LOWER FACE CONTOUR IRREGULARITY
Sagittal split osteotomy of the deficient mandible with advancement in the sag­ittal plane may result in ramus asymmetry and border irregularities (Figs. 15.1
and 15.2). Ramus asymmetry immediately after surgery occurs when the sur-
geon fails to create similar osteotomies and maintain similar osteotomy gaps (with rigid fixation) on both sides. The surgeon loses control over the relation of the proximal and distal fragments because the condyle must be positioned in its fossa and the body must be positioned to correct the occlusion. The position­ing of these two areas dictates ramus and angle position. In the orthognathic literature, the concern for the improper positioning of the proximal segments and condyle relates to its potential for condylar resorption and postoperative relapse. clockwise rotation of the ramus of the mandible because wire osteosynthesis did not provide enough stability. Rigid fixation has virtually eliminated these problems related to inadequate fixation.
with resultant counterclockwise rotation or after very large movements. Clini­cal experience has revealed that this is due to not only the positional restraints of condylar positioning and osteotomy variability as described above, but also

ramus shape changes resulting from bone atrophy (Fig. 15.3). Depending on the circumstance, this atrophy may result from devascularization and/or remodel­ing from altered mechanotransduction forces in accordance with Wolff’s Law.
Gaps at the osteotomy sites after sagittal osteotomy of the mandible or horizon­tal osteotomies of the chin with advancement can result in border irregularities. Correction of contour irregularities after skeletal rearrangement have focused on border defects at the sliding genioplasty osteotomy site, prompting some sur­geons to fill the defect with hydroxyapatite.10 Surgical technique and the native mandible anatomy determine the presence and severity of these irregularities.
Patients with “high-angle” mandibular deficiency, which is seen in associa­tion with antegonial notching and vertically deficient rami, are predisposed to visible notching after bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO). In patients with “low-angle” mandibular deficiency, where the ramus height is adequate and there is no antegonial notching, post-BSSO border irregularities reflect technical deficiencies in creating and maintaining (assuming rigid fixation) the correct osteotomy gap geometry of the buccal cortical plates. This geometry should be the same on both sides.
The extent of parasymphyseal notching after horizontal osteotomy of the chin with advancement is also influenced by surgical technique. By making the osteotomy oblique, as the artist has depicted in Fig. 15.1, the distal segment is shortened as it is advanced, which not only accentuates border irregularities but also causes the bone cut to exit the inferior mandibular border where the soft tissue coverage is more tenuous and exposes the notching. By lowering the bone cut anteriorly, one can eliminate or minimize the obliquity of the oste­otomy and, therefore, any shortening with a more proximal inferior border exit.

IMPLANT REFINEMENT
Contour irregularities can be addressed at the time of orthognathic surgery or, most often, at a later, secondary surgery.
The result obtained with readily available “off-the-shelf” implants can be limi ted due to the challenge of hand carving three-dimensional implant contours to correct iatrogenic as well as intrinsic facial asymmetries. Computer-aided design and manufacture (CAD/CAM) implants provide added sophistication to the procedure and are preferred by these authors.
When implants are placed at the time of orthognathic surgery, they are usu­ally off-the-shelf implants modified at that time to address the observed skeletal

deficiency. Orthognathic procedures are now routinely planned with computer technology and the surgery facilitated with computer-designed cutting guides and fixation devices. Obligatory skeletal imbalances and contour irregularities can be predicted. This can provide implants that are computer designed to cor­rect these imbalances and irregularities at the time of the orthognathic procedure. 
CAD/CAM IMPLANTS
To computer design and computer manufacture alloplastic implants, computed tomography (CT) scans with high resolution (<2 mm) are acquired using a rec­ommended protocol. Slice thickness and slice spacing of 0.75–1.25 mm is used to construct three-dimensional images of both the skeleton and soft tissue enve­lope from the top of the skull to the hyoid bone.
Implant design
Two options are available for the design process: From the CT data, a three­dimensional model is manufactured of the patient’s facial skeleton. The surgeon augments the deficient areas on the model with clay. The implant company uses the clay prototypes to manufacture implants. The alternative technique, which is preferred, involves a Web-based meeting between the surgeon and the manu­facturer’s engineer, at which time implants are designed virtually. This method allows millimeter precision in design and measurable relations between the upper and lower face (Fig. 15.4). Yu Wang et al.13 use CT data of the postortho­gnathic image to create a template that is used during the contour-modifying procedure to modify an off-the-shelf implant. 
PEARL
Minor skeletal irregularities can be camouaged with soft tissue llers or fat injections.
Upper face
The midface disharmony after Le Fort I osteotomy and advancement is a defi­ciency in the maxilla above the level of the osteotomy. Its custom implant correction always includes the infraorbital rim and the medial aspect of the malar prominence. The amount of its sagittal projection is an aesthetic judgment determined by the amount of lower midface advancement and by the amount of globe prominence.

https://t.me/medicina_free
The lower face disharmonies after BSSO include possible asymmetry in lower face height and width as well as border irregularities. If a slid­ing genioplasty has been performed, border irregularity at the osteotomy sites and chin asymmetry may be present. A grid pattern placed over the image is used to design the implant addressing the central and lateral por­tions of the mandible separately. Centrally, that is from the midline to the mental foramen, the implant is designed to be symmetric to the midline as determined by the position of the columella and the central incisors. Laterally, gonial angle position is determined by its relation to its respec­tive upper face skeleton rather than the midline. The central and lateral designs are then coordinated to provide a regular inferior mandible border (Fig. 15.4).
SURGICAL TECHNIQUE
Since intraoral approaches are intrinsic to these surgeries, it is important for patients to optimize intraoral hygiene before surgery. Chlorhexidine mouth­washes are prescribed for 3 days prior to surgery. Intravenous antibiotics (a cephalosporin or ciprofloxicin) are administered intraoperatively and for 5 to 7 days postoperatively.
Surgery is done under general anesthesia. Marcaine with epinephrine is injected into the operative site soft tissues for pain control and intraoperative vasoconstric­tion. The operative site is irrigated with an antibiotic solution prior to closure.
Surgical technique
Upper face
The upper face is accessed through an intraoral sulcus incision and a transconjunctival retroseptal incision with lateral canthotomy. Skin–mus­cle lower lid flaps are an alternative approach. The midface is elevated in a subperiosteal plane. The infraorbital nerve is identified and pre­served. Large, rigid implants are often segmented to allow their place­ment through limited exposure. The custom design dictates appropriate placement, which is secured with screw fixation. The midface soft tissue envelope is resuspended with sutures tied to the implant or drill holes in the bone. 
Lower face
The posterior mandible is accessed through intraoral sulcus incisions and a submental incision is used to access the chin. The entire anterior face of the mandible is elevated in the subperiosteal plane. The mental nerves are identi­fied and preserved. Care is taken to minimize disruption of the masseteric sling during implant placement. Implants are immobilized with titanium screws. The wounds are closed in layers after a suction drain is placed, which exits in the postauricular area. The drain is usually removed the morning after surgery.
