Clinical application of composite facial contour sculpture by intra-oral approach

Objective To examine the clinical therapeutic outcome of composite facial contour sculpture via an intra-oral approach. Methods One-stage composite facial contour sculpture via an intra-oral approach was designed according to patients' expectations and different facial profiles such as prominent mandibular angle and high zygomatic process. Results Since 2001, the method has been used in 23 patients with satisfactory outcomes. Intraoperative massive haemorrhage occurred in one patient and postoperative infection in another patient, both cured after treatment. A one-year follow-up study demonstrated that the therapeutic outcome of this method was generally good. Conclusion Composite facial contour sculpture via an intra-oral approach is a safe option for facial orthopedics, especially for orthopedics of prominent mandibular angle and high zygomatic process. The outcomes are satisfactory in the patients of our series.
