Management of Buccal Fat Pad in Minimally Invasive Orthognathic Surgery
Abstract:
In patients with dentofacial deformities, the most frequent aesthetic deficits are attributable to an underdevelopment of hard and soft tissues. The surgeon should consider not only traditional osteotomies, but also soft-tissue improving procedures, such as lipofilling or buccal fat removal to achieve better aesthetic results. The authors herein describe a simple, safe, and convenient technique for removal or transposition of the buccal fat pad (BFP) during minimally invasive orthognathic surgery (MIOS).
