None:
Orthognathic surgery aims to restore occlusal function and facial harmony. However, skeletal correction does not guarantee adequate aesthetic balance, particularly in the midfacial region. This technical note describes a surgical modification that incorporates the repositioning of the buccal fat pad (Bichat fat pad) during orthognathic surgery, with the goal of improving facial projection and volume without the need for autologous grafts or synthetic fillers. The proposed technique provides a biologically compatible volume enhancement, with minimal morbidity and stable results.

Purpose and Process:
Constant Volume Calorimetry
Work Done During Volume Change
Consider a gas confined to a cylinder fitted with a movable piston at one end. If the gas expands from volume V1 to volume V2, it exerts a force on the piston, such that the piston moves by a distance dr.
The work done by the gas on the piston can be expressed as
