Abstract
|
|
|
The small forehead, the inadequate forehead, and the asymmetrical or deformed forehead, whether it be of congenital, developmental, posttraumatic, familial, or ethnic origin, can be corrected, but any correction must be in line with its many functions. In addition to protecting the frontal lobes of the brain and one of the brain´s most important appendages, the eyes, the forehead also functions to convey feelings of intelligence, strength, beauty, and several emotions. When the contours are less than normal, the forehead not only does not offer the protection that must be present, but also may leave an individual with the feeling of being inadequate.
From May 1989 to May 1993 forehead augmentation and frontal bone advancement have been performed in 77 patients. The procedures were performed via a bicoronal incision. Among them 60 patients were augmented with hydroxyapatite. The subperiosteal pocket was made through a small periosteal incision, and packed with hydroxyapatite. When indicated facial rhitidectomy, or reduction malar plasty was performed simultaneously. But, in 17 patients with craniofacial deformities were not satisfied with hydroxyapatite. Therefore, lamellar split osteotomy technique was employed in 17 patients with craniofacial deformities. The lamellar split osteotomy technique was more adequate to minimize infection, and forehead surface irregularity than other frontal bone advancement techniques.
The result had been satisfactory and long lasting without major complications when examed from 6 months to 42 months after surgery.
