    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Malar augmentation with prosthetics has few complications, mainly due to incorrect implant size or placement. Patient acceptance is high, with proper preoperative counseling crucial for successful outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Biomaterials Science

    Background:

    • Malar augmentation using prosthetic materials is a common cosmetic procedure.
    • Understanding potential complications is vital for patient safety and surgical success.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the complications associated with malar augmentation using prosthetic materials.
    • To identify factors contributing to complications and assess patient acceptance.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of complications in 35 cases of malar augmentation.
    • Analysis of prosthesis selection, placement, and fixation techniques.
    • Assessment of patient outcomes and satisfaction.

    Main Results:

    • Complications were infrequent, primarily related to incorrect prosthesis size or position.

  • Two cases of delayed infection were possibly linked to oral cavity seeding.
  • Posterior Dacron fixation for gel prostheses may increase risks.
  • High patient acceptance (35/35 cases) with only one request for removal.

    • Conclusions:

    • Malar augmentation with prosthetics is generally safe with a low complication rate.
    • Careful prosthesis selection, precise placement, and appropriate fixation are essential.
    • Thorough preoperative counseling significantly contributes to high patient satisfaction.
