Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Craniofacial Surgery
  • Aesthetic Surgery

Background:

  • Premaxillary area recession is a common facial deformity.
  • It can range from mild to severe, particularly in Black and Asian populations.
  • Associated features include a narrow nasolabial angle, recessed alar bases, and sunken cheeks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a new premaxillary implant design for augmentation.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of this novel implant in correcting premaxillary deficiency.

Main Methods:

  • A bat-shaped premaxillary implant was designed for augmentation.
  • The implant was surgically introduced via intranasal or intraoral approaches.
  • Procedures were performed under local or general anesthesia.

Main Results:

  • Thirty-three patients with premaxillary recession underwent augmentation.
  • Satisfactory cosmetic outcomes were achieved in the patient cohort.
  • A low incidence of minor complications was reported.

Conclusions:

  • The bat-shaped premaxillary implant is an effective solution for premaxillary deficiency.
  • This surgical technique offers a viable option for improving midface aesthetics.
  • The procedure demonstrates a favorable safety profile with good cosmetic results.
