Abstract:
We report our experience with a modified Le Fort I osteotomy developed to avoid nasal tip upturning, alar base widening, and upper lip flattening in anterosuperior repositioning of the maxilla. We compare the aesthetic results obtained with this variation of the surgical technique to those obtained using the more traditional Le Fort I osteotomy combined with the alar cinch suture and the anterior nasal spine reduction procedures on a sample of 20 patients.
