The objective of this article is to describe the combination of virtual planning used to produce a custom-made facial implant, along with the minimally invasive endoscopic approach used to place it, for the reconstruction of the frontal bone. This management reduces the sequelae that occur with the traditional incisions while restoring the proper contour of facial surfaces at the same time.
