This study accurately predicts upper lip changes after maxillary Le Fort I advancement/impaction surgery. The findings help anticipate multidimensional morphologic alterations for improved surgical planning and patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Orthognathic surgery
  • Maxillofacial surgery
  • Cephalometric analysis

Background:

  • Segmental maxillary Le Fort I advancement/impaction is a complex procedure.
  • Understanding upper lip response is crucial for aesthetic outcomes.
  • Predicting soft tissue changes aids surgical planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To predict multidimensional upper lip morphologic changes after 4-piece maxillary Le Fort I advancement/impaction with VY closure and alar base cinch sutures.
  • To identify key cephalometric variables influencing upper lip response.
  • To develop accurate prediction models for surgical outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of 57 patients undergoing the specified surgical procedure.
  • Longitudinal lateral cephalograms analyzed pre- and post-surgery (mean 15.5 months follow-up).

  • Multiple regression models used to predict upper lip landmark movements.

    • Main Results:

    • Upper lip moved anteriorly (50-90% of bone movement) and slightly lengthened.
    • Upper lip surface contour straightened.
    • Prediction models explained 86-94% of horizontal movement variation with high accuracy.

    Conclusions:

    • Upper lip response to 4-piece maxillary Le Fort I advancement/impaction is predictable.
    • Prediction equations provide reliable estimates of soft tissue changes.
    • Accurate prediction enhances surgical planning and patient satisfaction.
