Abstract:
Subcutaneous implantation of Gore-Tex for facial reconstruction allows physicians to recontour the soft tissues of the face and to augment areas that are deficient of subcutaneous tissue for genetic, aging, and traumatic reasons. This article discusses the use of Gore-Tex in multiple implant sites and presents novel ideas for both facial and cervical augmentation.
