The authors have developed a new suborbital tear trough-malar extended implant that provides a comprehensive augmentation of the entire suborbital rim and malar region. The results have been excellent in all cases. There have been no postoperative symptoms relating to the infraorbital nerve. The major postoperative sequela is chemosis of a minor or significant degree in most patients. There have been four cases of a slightly retracted eyelid, which have resolved spontaneously in the course of 6 to 8 weeks. This technique does not require any removal of fat from the orbit nor does it require extensive dissection of fat. This operation successfully and satisfactorily creates an optimum blending of the lid-cheek junction.

Simultaneous reconstruction after removal of nasal silicone implants was published as diced, autologous rib and ear auricular cartilages, and each had their shortcomings. Temporoparietal fascial grafts were used for facial and nasal contouring, vascularized tissue coverage, and augmentation the nose, lip. The temporoparietal fascia graft may be considered for in-time replacement of allografts and remaining bulkiness.

Background: Hydroxyapatite bone cement (HABC) has evolved to have diverse applications in craniofacial reconstruction. This ranges from filling cranial defects to secondary contouring of residual defects after primary surgeries. This study aims to determine patient outcomes after reconstruction with HABCs.

Reconstructive surgeons often use a free radial forearm flap for nasal reconstruction when a forehead flap is not an option, but this flap has drawbacks. This article presents a series of patients with complex defects who underwent reconstruction with an anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap. Severe burns and cancer resection may lead to the loss of multiple anatomical units, including the entire nose and nearby structures.

Porous polyethylene has been widely used in craniofacial reconstruction due to its biomechanical properties and ease of handling. The objective of this study was to perform a systematic review of the literature to summarize outcomes utilizing high-density porous polyethylene (HDPP) implants in cranioplasty. A literature search of PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Scopus databases was conducted to identify original studies with HDPP cranioplasty from inception to March 2023.
