Abstract:
The previously presented facial augmentation techniques can be used in conjunction with orthognathic procedures or may be performed as separate procedures. When performed properly, they can enhance facial esthetics and improve patient satisfaction. Alloplastic augmentation, when properly planned and performed, is predictable, stable, and generally accepted by the patient.
