Basic Approaches forFacial Bone
Contouring Surgery

3.1 Pearls
1. Before making facial incisions, it is imperative to consider facial aesthetics, the preservation of facial expression muscles, branches of
the facial nerve, and sensory nerves to ensure
optimal surgical outcomes and patient
satisfaction.
2. The intraoral approach is predominantly used
in facial bone contouring surgeries. This
approach provides extensive exposure to most
of the facial skeleton while leaving scars completely concealed within the oral cavity.
3. The bicoronal approach offers versatile access
to the upper and middle facial skeleton,
including the zygomatic arch. This approach
effectively hides scars within the hairline and
ensures excellent surgical access.
4. Transcutaneous incisions, such as the Gillies’
approach and sideburn incisions, are employed
for accessing the zygoma. Scars from the
Gillies’ approach can be concealed within the
hairline, while sideburn incisions provide
direct access to the posterior portion of the
zygomatic arch.
5. Surgical approaches through the lower eyelid,
including the subciliary and transconjunctival
incisions, offer signicant exposure to the
inferior orbital rim, the lower part of the lateral orbital rim, and the upper region of the
zygoma body. The transconjunctival approach,
in particular, ensures that scars remain hidden
within the conjunctiva, maintaining the aesthetic integrity of the eye area.
3.2 Introduction
Successful facial bone contouring surgeries hinge
on adequate access and exposure of the facial
skeleton. Selecting an appropriate surgical
approach involves multiple considerations.
Firstly, incision sites should prioritize facial aesthetics along with surgical convenience, placing
incisions in less noticeable areas, even if distant
from the skeletal site of operation. Secondly, care
must be taken to prevent damage to muscles and
nerves responsible for facial expressions, as
facial paralysis could result in signicant cosmetic and functional decits. Lastly, surgeons
must be aware of numerous sensory nerves exiting the facial skeleton to avoid postoperative
hypesthesia, combining technical precision with
anatomical knowledge [1–3].

3.3 Surgical Approaches
3.3.1 Intraoral Approach
3.3.1.1 Maxillary Vestibular Approach
For malar reduction surgery, the zygomatic bone’s
body is accessible via an intraoral incision.
Preoperative administration of a vasoconstrictor
along the incision line reduces bleeding. The incision, made about 5 mm above the mucogingival
junction, can extend posteriorly as needed, typically to the rst molar. This incision sequentially
cuts through mucosa, submucosa, muscle, and
periosteum. Using periosteal elevators, the tissues
are elevated subperiosteally. The infraorbital nerve
is located by dissecting superomedially toward the
infraorbital foramen. Dissection continues superiorly to the lateral edge of the infraorbital rim and
posteriorly behind the zygomaticomaxillary buttress. Closure involves a simple absorbable suture
through the mucosa, submucosa, musculature, and
periosteum (Fig.3.1) [1–4].
3.3.1.2 Mandibular Vestibular
Approach
This is the standard approach for mandibular contouring surgeries. After vasoconstrictor injection,
the mucosa from canine to canine is incised, either
curvilinearly or in a V-shape, sparing the frenulum
and extending anteriorly. The incision reveals the
mentalis muscle, with care taken to avoid the mental nerve. When approaching the mandible’s body
and ramus, the incision is placed about 5mm below
the mucogingival junction. Sparing the mucosa
near mental foramen helps to protect the mental
nerve and also prevents the nerve from being overly
pulled. The mentalis muscle is subperiosteally
stripped from the mandible, with careful periosteal
detachment around the mental foramen. Dissection
proceeds posteriorly along the mandibular body
and ramus, staying within the periosteal layer to
prevent vascular damage. Subperiosteal dissection
near the mandibular angle causes the masseter
muscle to retract upward. For wound closure in the
posterior region, a single-layer suture sufces,
while the anterior region necessitates a two-layer
closure to rmly reattach the mentalis muscle.
Three absorbable sutures reapproximate the mentalis muscle, followed by mucosal closure with
absorbable sutures (Fig.3.2) [1–3, 5–7].
3.3.2 Bicoronal Approach
The bicoronal approach is utilized for exposing
the skeleton of the upper and middle face in facial
bone contouring surgeries, including procedures
like malar reduction or forehead contouring.
Consideration of the patient’s hairline is crucial
when designing the incision line, which typically

allows easy access to the zygomatic bone through an
intraoral incision, providing excellent visualization without external scarring. Dissection encompasses areas

curves anteriorly near the vertex, remaining
about 5cm within the hairline. Zigzag-designed
bicoronal incisions are preferred to minimize
scar visibility. This incision can extend inferiorly
to the earlobe level, connecting with a preauricular incision, thus providing direct exposure to the
zygomatic arch and infraorbital rims.
To reduce bleeding, vasoconstrictors are
injected along the proposed incision line. The
incision, made with a scalpel, extends from one
superior temporal line to the other, cutting
through skin, subcutaneous tissue, and galea to
reveal the subgaleal plane. The ap is then lifted
and dissected above the pericranium. Below the
Fig. 3.2 Mandibular Vestibular Approach: This intraoral
incision offers superior visualization and access for mandible contouring surgeries without external scars, preserving facial motor and sensory nerves
superior temporal line, the incision extends to the
supercial layer of the temporalis fascia.
Hemostatic measures include applying Raney
clips or electrocauterizing bleeding vessels. Care
is taken to avoid extensive cauterization at the incision edges to prevent alopecia. The ap is elevated
above the pericranium, typically using manual nger dissection and blunt periosteal elevators. The
dissection plane, just supercial to the thick temporalis fascia, continues anteriorly and inferiorly,
eventually allowing the ap to evert. At frontal
area, the dissection proceeds anteriorly over periosteum, and the periosteum is incised at the level
about 2cm from the supraorbital ridges to protect
the supratrochlear and supraorbital nerves. Then
subperiosteal dissection proceeds to the supraorbital ridges. Lateral portion of the ap is dissected
above the temporalis fascia. As dissection nears
the ear, the supercial layer of the temporalis fascia is incised at the zygomatic arch root. The dissection remains supercial to the temporalis fascia,
safeguarding the temporal branch of the facial
nerve. Once the zygomatic arch’s superior surface
is visible, a periosteal incision is made along this
surface, extending to the orbital rim and meeting
the cross-forehead incision. This subperiosteal
elevation exposes the lateral surfaces of the zygomatic arch, body, and lateral orbital rim.
Closure of the bicoronal incision involves
suture resuspension of soft tissues, periosteum
suturing around the orbital rims, and a two-layer
scalp closure using absorbable and nonabsorbable sutures or staples (Fig.3.3).

3.3.3 Transcutaneous Approach
3.3.3.1 Sideburn Approach
For direct access to the zygomatic arch’s posterior portion, an incision is made within the sideburn area. An 8–10mm incision is made with a
scalpel at the zygomatic arch level, midline to the
sideburn. Given the proximity to the frontal
branch of the facial nerve, careful blunt dissection is recommended. Following subcutaneous
dissection, a sharp incision is made on the periosteum, and subperiosteal dissection exposes the
osteotomy and xation site. Wound closure
involves two absorbable sutures for the subcuta-

access to the zygomatic arch’s posterior portion via a
sideburn- level incision, necessitating caution due to the
proximity of the frontal branch of the facial nerve
neous layer, followed by simple nonabsorbable
sutures for the skin (Fig.3.4).
3.3.3.2 Gillies’ Approach
This approach involves a temporal incision made
2.5cm superior and anterior to the helix, within
the hairline. A 2cm incision is made, avoiding
the supercial temporal artery, and dissection
continues through subcutaneous tissue and supercial temporal fascia to the deep portion of the
deep temporal fascia. Incising this fascia exposes
the temporalis muscle. A periosteal elevator,
inserted deep to the temporalis fascia and supercial to the temporalis muscle, advances to the
zygomatic body’s posterior portion. Scalp closure is typically achieved with staples (Fig.3.5).
3.3.4 Periorbital Approach
3.3.4.1 Subciliary Incision
The subciliary approach is utilized to access the
lateral and inferior orbital rim and the upper part
of the zygomatic body and maxilla. Protecting the
cornea is vital, and the use of a temporary tarsorrhaphy or corneal shield can minimize ocular
injuries. The incision, about 2mm below the eyelashes and potentially extending laterally past the
lateral canthus, should be inltrated with a vasoconstrictor to facilitate hemostasis and tissue separation. The initial incision is through the skin,
with subsequent sharp dissection to the inferior

orbital rim. The orbicularis oculi muscle is
incised, and a skin-muscle ap is elevated for
access. The periosteum is incised below the
orbital rim, taking care to avoid the infraorbital
neurovascular bundle. Periosteal elevation reveals
the anterior surfaces of the maxilla and zygoma.
Closure involves suturing the periosteum and
skin, typically without the need to suture the orbicularis oculi muscle (Fig.3.6) [1–3, 8–11].
After placing a corneal shield, a vasoconstrictor
is injected under the conjunctiva. The lower eyelid is everted, and traction sutures are placed. If a
lateral canthotomy is needed, it begins the incision, followed by cutting through the conjunctiva
toward the infraorbital rim. The incision through
the conjunctiva and lower eyelid retractors is
midway between the tarsal plate and the conjunctival fornix, avoiding the lacrimal sac. Periosteum
is sharply incised below the orbital rim, and ele-

vation exposes the maxilla and zygoma. Inferior
canthopexy and conjunctival suturing nalize the
procedure, with subcutaneous and skin sutures at
the canthotomy site (Fig.3.7) [1–3, 9, 11, 12].

3.4 Key Technical Points
1. In maxillary or mandibular vestibular
approaches, the incision should be placed
about 5mm from the mucogingival junction
for easier closure.
2. During intraoral approaches, careful subperiosteal dissection is necessary to avoid damaging the infraorbital and mental nerves.
3. Using electrocautery in a bicoronal approach
can cause irreversible damage to hair follicles,
leading to alopecia, which may be aesthetically problematic.
4. Shaving hair before a bicoronal incision is not
medically necessary, and preserving hair
helps in minimizing damage to follicles.
5. In subciliary approaches, it’s crucial to tend
the lower lid tissues upward during dissection
to prevent skin dehiscence.

4.2 Introduction
Recent years have seen a surge in the popularity
of facial bone contouring surgery, accompanied
by signicant improvements in surgical techniques and patient outcomes. Achieving satisfactory results in cosmetic surgery hinges not only
on meeting each individual’s aesthetic expectations but also on minimizing the risk of complications. An essential aspect of this is the
standardization of surgical methods used in
facial bone contouring surgery. The aim is to
simplify the procedure for the surgeon, ensuring
awless execution, and ultimately leading to the
patient’s satisfaction with their aesthetic results.
In this context, this chapter introduces several
standardized surgical instruments that are commonly utilized in facial bone contouring
surgery.

4.3 Surgical Instruments
4.3.1 Zygoma Reduction
In the realm of reduction malarplasty, the
L-shaped osteotomy technique has gained widespread popularity [1–8]. This technique often
incorporates a dual approach: an ostectomy and
posteromedial repositioning of the zygomatic
body via an intraoral approach, coupled with an
osteotomy and inward repositioning of the zygomatic arch through a preauricular or sideburn
incision. During this procedure, the surgeon must
make several critical decisions [1].
The amount of bone resection in the zygomatic body is a pivotal factor, as it determines the
decrease in bimalar width due to the medial repositioning of the zygomatic bone. Achieving uniform resection is crucial, and this can be
facilitated by using a “double-bladed” reciprocating saw. These saws come in various sizes, with
blade distances ranging from 2 to 7mm (Fig.4.1),
to ensure precise and equal bone resection. In
cases where there is asymmetry in the zygomatic
region, different saws can be selected based on
the preoperative analysis.
Additionally, the extent of posterior setback of
the zygomatic body needs to be carefully determined. In patients with a prominent zygoma, the
maximal malar projection (MMP) is often malpositioned anterolaterally. Therefore, a combined
medial repositioning and posterior setback of the
zygomatic body is necessary. Pre-bent titanium
plates, available in different sizes (Fig.4.2), can
be used to accurately perform this setback procedure. The size of the step in each plate varies,
allowing for precise repositioning of the zygomatic body, both in symmetrical and asymmetrical cases.
Furthermore, the amount of medial repositioning required for the zygomatic arch is a critical
consideration. Patients with a prominent zygoma
usually exhibit a prominence in the arch region
that needs to be repositioned inwardly. This is
achieved by cutting through the zygomatic arch
via a sideburn incision and then pushing the anterior portion of the arch inwardly for rigid xa-

tion. Pre-bent titanium plates, specically linear
three-hole plates with step sizes ranging from 0
to 4mm (Fig.4.2), can be used for this purpose,
with the choice of plate depending on the extent
of lateral prominence in the arch region.
4.3.2 Mandible Reduction
The conventional technique for mandible reduction involves the use of an oscillating saw through
an intraoral approach [9–11]. Prior to the main
osteotomy, a “guarded” oscillating saw marks the
proposed osteotomy line [12, 13]. This saw features a small oscillating blade shielded at various
distances, ranging from 2 to 6 mm (Fig. 4.3),
allowing for precise control over the extent of
bone resection. The choice of guarded saw
depends on the required amount of resection in
a
the mandibular body and the proximity to the
inferior alveolar nerve. Utilizing these guarded
saws ensures uniform bony resection and reduces
the risk of unintentional over-resection and nerve
injury. Additionally, in cases with jawline asymmetry, different-sized guarded saws can be used
to differentially correct the asymmetry. Following
initial cuts with a guarded saw, larger oscillating
saws complete the bone resection.
4.3.3 Genioplasty
Genioplasty stands out as one of the most versatile and practical tools in facial bone surgery,
often performed independently or in conjunction
with other facial bone surgeries [14]. It addresses
issues such as a small or protruding chin by repositioning it anteroposteriorly [15, 16]. For chin
narrowing or vertical shortening procedures
requiring bone resection, double-bladed reciprocating saws are used to achieve precise, equal
osteotomies (Fig.4.4) [17]. During chin advancement or setback, pre-bent plates control the
anteroposterior adjustments. These plates come
in various sizes, and the appropriate one is
selected based on preoperative cephalometric
analysis, allowing for precise execution of the
planned chin repositioning (Fig.4.5).

4.4 Discussion
Complications in facial bone contouring surgery
can arise from errors in patient evaluation or
operative techniques. Standard surgical
instruments, like those described here, can mitigate the risk of such outcomes. Common complications include edema, hematoma, infection,
soft-tissue sagging, and sensory disturbances.
Utilizing double- bladed reciprocating saws can
increase the accuracy of osteotomies, reducing
postoperative asymmetry and the risk of underor overcorrection. Pre-bent plates facilitate precise repositioning of the zygomatic body and
arch, enhancing surgical outcomes.
In mandibular reduction, complications like
inferior alveolar nerve injury and jawline contour
irregularities can be minimized with careful planning and technique [18–25]. Guarded oscillating
saws, by dening the inferior mandible border
and marking the osteotomy line, reduce the risk
of nerve injury. These saws also allow for uniform osteotomies and can correct preexisting
mandible asymmetries.
During genioplasty, the nal chin position
should be evaluated in relation to the entire face,
taking into account intraoperative soft-tissue
swelling. Pre-bent plates offer a guide for precise
anteroposterior chin repositioning, while doublebladed reciprocating saws ensure parallel and

accurate osteotomies in procedures like vertical
shortening or narrowing genioplasty.
