Correction of a long face. Case report.

G D Verdi, B Alpert

    Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
    |October 1, 1978

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Maxillary alveolar hyperplasia, or long face syndrome, was successfully treated by surgically removing a section of bone from the maxilla. This bone segment was then repositioned to correct the facial structure.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Orthognathic Surgery
    • Craniofacial Reconstruction

    Background:

    • Maxillary alveolar hyperplasia, commonly known as long face syndrome, presents significant aesthetic and functional challenges.
    • Surgical correction often involves complex procedures to rebalance facial proportions.

    Observation:

    • A specific case of maxillary alveolar hyperplasia required surgical intervention.
    • The patient presented with characteristics of the long face syndrome.

    Findings:

    • A novel surgical technique was employed, involving the excision of a 12 mm bone segment from the maxilla.
    • The maxilla was 'down-fractured' and then 'telescoped' superiorly into an improved position.

    Implications:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • This surgical approach offers a viable solution for correcting severe maxillary excess.
    • The described technique demonstrates the potential for effective management of long face syndrome.
    • Further research can explore the long-term outcomes and applicability of this method in similar cases.
