Background: Most cases of facial asymmetry involve yaw deformity, and determination of the yaw correction level is very difficult. Methods: We use three-dimensional soft tissue simulation to determine the yaw correction level. This three-dimensional simulation is based on the addition of cephalometric prediction to gradual yaw correction. Optimal yaw correction is determined visually, and an intermediate splint is fabricated with computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing. Application of positioning devices and the performance of horseshoe osteotomy are advisable. Results: With this procedure, accurate repositioning of jaws was confirmed and patients obtained fairly good facial contour. Conclusions: This procedure is a promising method for a widespread, predictable treatment of facial asymmetry.

BSSRO (bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy) is frequently performed to correct dentofacial deformity and malocclusion. Among its complications the incidence of post-operative facial nerve palsy is very rare, but it is one of the most serious complications. The case of a 21-year-old male patient who underwent facial nerve palsy after BSSRO is described. After surgical intervention and conservative therapy, the patient recovered his facial nerve function successfully.

Objectives: The use of fat grafts in maxillofacial sculpturing is currently a common technique. Unlike fillers, autologous fats unite with facial tissues, but long-term results may still be unsatisfactory. Sharing long-term follow-ups can be helpful in making outcomes more predictable. Materials and Methods: The data from patients who were admitted from 2014 to 2016 for fat augmentation were collected. In all cases, fat grafts were injected by blunt cannula using a tunneling technique in different planes. A fan shape order for the malar, periorbital, nasolabial fold, mandibular angle and body, and perioral area was established. Results: Autologous fat was used for different sites of the maxillofacial regions. Of 15 patients, two patients were not satisfied due to fat graft resorption. For this, further injections were performed six months after the first injection using preserved fat grafts. One patient continued to be dissatisfied. There were no other complications related to fat transplants. Conclusion: Fat transplantation is a safe, reliable, and non-invasive method for facial contour and facial soft tissue defect restoration. Additional methods such as mesenchymal stem cells along with fat injection increase the survival rate of transferred fat.

Midfacial hypoplasia in patients with clefts of the lip and palate is considered to be the result of congenital dysmorphogenesis. And cleft lip and palate developes facial deformity, jaw abnormality, speech problem, which is most frequent hereditary deformity in maxillofacial region. So cleft lip and palate is characterized by midface deformity which shaws maxillary anterior nasal septal deviation and deformity. Our study describes congenital correlates of midfacial hypoplasia by examining the displacement of a normal complement of parts, a triangular tissue deficiency low on the lip border on the columellar side, and a linear deficiency and displacement in the line of the bilateral cleft lip. 15 patients with bilateral cleft lip and palate were taken impression before operation, but the patient who had other abnormalities and complications were excluded. Average age is 3.4 months and they were classified into both complete, both incomplete and complete & incomplete group. The obtained results were as follows 1. There were no differences on intercanthal width and canthal width between each of the groups. 2. Both complete group had longer lateral ala length than both incomplete group, but there were no differences between both complete group and complete side of com. & incom. group and both incomplete group and incomplete side of com. & incom. group. 3. Columella length was greater in both incomplete group than in both complete group, but there was no difference between both complete group and complete side of com. & incom. group and both incomplete group and incomplete side of com. & incom. group. 4. Both complete group had longer ala width & ala base width than both incomplete group had. But there were no differences between both complete group and complete side of com. & incom. group and both incomplete group and incomplete side of com. & incom. group. 5. There were no differences between each of the groups on upper lip length, but nose/mouth width ratio was greater in both complete group than in both incomplete group. 6. Pronasale(pm), subnasle(sn), la~rale superioris(ls), stomion(sto) points were located around the central vertical line of face but deviated to incomplete side in com. & incom. group. 7. Nasal tip protrusion was greater in both incomplete group and com. & incom. group than both complete group, but there was no difference between both incomplete group and com. & incom. group.

The aim of surgery for all parotid masses is directed toward total removal of the tumor with adequate safe margins of adjacent normal tissue and preservation of the facial nerve whenever possible. Reconstructive procedures following parotidectomy for benign or low grade malignant lesions are most commonly necessary if soft tissue deficits appear at the angle of the mandible below the earlobe as a major cosmetic deformity. This is a report of Z4 cases with a diagnosis of parotid tumor who were treated using various surgical procedures at Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Hanyang University Hospital over the period of 4 years from January, 1983 to December, 1986. Among 24 cases, 11 cases were reconstructed by Sternocleidomastoid muscle flap at the same time that extirpative surgery is outlined. The advantage of Sternocleidomastoid muscle flap is the coverage of the facial nerve, so adhesion between the facial nerve and skin was prevented. Absorption and loss of bulk was not found such as dermofat graft. It was a simple method. Neither donor site defect nor sternocleidomastoid muscle deformity was developed. Sternocleidomastoid muscle flap have been found satisfactory in maintaining filled-out soft tissue hollows with good result cosmetically and functionally.

안면비대칭 환자에서 하악 우각부위의 연조직 형태에 결정적 영향을 미칠 수 있는 교근의 성상에 대한 평가는 경조직의 분석과 더불어 중요하다. 교근은 수술로 인한 하악의 후방이동 시 가장 많은 영향을 받는 구조 중 하나이며, 수술 후 교근의 상태는 환자의 저작력과 하악 우각부 외형에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 본 연구는 안면비대칭을 가진 골격성 III급 부정교합자의 편위, 비편위측 교근의 형태학적 차이와 하악골 후퇴술 이후 양측 교근의 변화를 비교 분석하고자 하였다. 또한 안면비대칭의 개선 전, 후 교근을 정상교합자와 비교하여 비대칭의 수술이 교근에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 안면비대칭으로 진단된 환자 12명의 양악수술 전후의 3차원 CT 영상과 정상교합자 10명의 3차원 CT 영상에서 하악골과 교근을 계측, 분석하였다. 연구 결과 비대칭군에서 교근의 편위, 비편위측 모두 정상교합군에 비해 부피가 작고, 최대 단면적 부위가 좁은 것을 알 수 있었으며, 편위, 비편위측의 교근의 주행각도 차이와 최대단면적 부위에서의 두께 차이가 정상 교합군보다 크게 나타났다. 양악 수술 전, 후에 교근의 주행각도는 유의성 있게 감소하였고, 편위, 비편위측 각도의 차이도 감소하였으며, 최대 단면적 부위에서의 교근의 두께가 유의성 있게 증가하였다. 비대칭 수술 후 좌우 교근은 너비를 제외하고는 정상 교합자와 유의차 없게 변화하였다. 이상의 연구 결과, 안면비대칭 환자는 교근의 성상이 분명히 정상 교합자와는 다르지만, 적절한 수술 후에 경조직뿐만 아니라 교근도 정상범주로 변화하였음을 알 수 있었다.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess rotational patterns of dentofacial structures according to different vertical skeletal patterns by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and analyze their influence on menton deviation in skeletal Class III deformity with mandibular asymmetry. Methods: The control group consisted of 30 young adults (15 men, 15 women) without any severe skeletal deformity. The asymmetry group included 55 adults (28 men, 27 women) with skeletal Class III deformity and at least 3-mm menton deviation from the midsagittal plane; it was divided into the hyperdivergent and hypodivergent subgroups using a mandibular plane angle cutoff of $35^{\circ}$. Fourteen rotational variables of the dental arches and mandible were measured and compared among the groups. Correlations between menton deviation and the other variables were evaluated. Results: The asymmetry group showed significantly larger measurements of roll and yaw in the mandible than the control group. The hypodivergent subgroup showed significant differences in maxillary posterior measurements of yaw (p < 0.01) and maxillary anterior shift (p < 0.05) compared with the hyperdivergent subgroup. All the mandibular measurements had significant correlations with menton deviation (p < 0.01). Most measurements of roll were positively correlated with one another (p < 0.01). Measurements of yaw and roll in the posterior regions were also positively correlated (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Menton deviation in skeletal Class III deformity with mandibular asymmetry is influenced by rotation of mandibular posterior dentofacial structures. The rotational patterns vary slightly according to the vertical skeletal pattern.

Objective: The aim of this study was to establish the normative data of dentofacial transverse dimensions according to the skeletal maturation stage in Korean adolescents with good occlusion, assess gender differences and determine correlations between transverse variables. Methods: A total of 577 Korean subjects between ages 7 to 19 years and exhibiting skeletal Class I occlusion were categorized by skeletal maturation index (SMI) of Fishman using hand-wrist radiographs. Dentofacial transverse dimensions were assessed using posteroanterior cephalograms. Independent two-sample t-tests were used to analyze differences between genders. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to determine the correlation between transverse measurements. Results: Dentofacial transverse norms relevant to skeletal maturation stages were established. The average maxillomandibular width difference and ratio at growth completion was 22.16 mm and 77.01% for males; 23.70 mm and 74.06% for females, respectively. Males had greater facial, maxillary and mandibular widths compared to females at every SMI stage. The maxillary and mandibular intermolar widths showed the strongest correlation for both sexes (r = 0.826 for males, r = 0.725 for females). Conclusions: Dentofacial transverse norms of Korean adolescents were established according to developmental stage. All dentofacial widths were greater in males at growth completion. Maxillary and mandibular intermolar widths were strongly correlated. This study may serve as a guideline for the assessment of dentofacial transverse growth according to skeletal maturation stage in Korean adolescents with good occlusion.
