A 35 year old lady reported to my hospital with the complaints of facial disharmony due to road traffic accident happened 1 year back. She said first aid and fractured facial bone correction done in different hospital at her home town. But the outcome of the surgery was not satisfactory. She wanted to correct her face without much scars on her face.
After thorough clinical and radiological examination, Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. S. M. Balaji planned to correct her face in a single surgery without any scars on her face. Intraorally, maxilla was advanced by Le Fort I osteotomy and mandibular bone plate was removed. Using bicoronal flap the frontal bone correction was done and orbitoparietal portion of skull and glabella depression was augmented using costochondral rib graft. Depressed dorsum of the nose was also augmented using costochondral rib graft. Superior orbital rim was also augmented using rib graft. Thus entire facial rehabilitation was done without any visible scars on the face. Patient and her family were very happy to see her facial transformation.
