Plastic Surgery Case Study - Custom Midface Implant for Aesthetic Periorbital- Cheek-Maxillary Augmentation - Explore Plastic Surgery
The total custom midface implant requires a segmentalize approach for its surgical placement.

Before & after


Lots of people fear monger LF3 & its a valid take ngl because the surgery is quite advanced and usually done on deformed people from e.g car crashes or genetic defects,
"The total midface implant is the only augmentation method that produce a ‘LeFort III’ effect…although these procedures are not really comparable. That only appears so on paper or in diagrams. The LeFort III osteotomy has functional benefits and changes the occlusion and nose as well. Its use is for more significant midface deficiencies. The total midface implant augments the existing bone structure and does not change the occlusion or nasal shape. (although an augmentative rhinoplasty can be done at the same time or later) Its role is for more modest midface deficiencies that have a purely aesthetic basis for doing so."
DNR users: its LF3 simulation without the functional benefits and changes to occlusion and nose, you also wont get nasal changes from it but aagain can be simulated with paranasal implants or augmentation rhino via bone grafts
This is quite cool as we can get these effects from simple implant placement rather than such a advance surgery like LF3 since most people get it for deformities and functional reasons which we likely do not have which means implants are a great replacement for this (total midface implants)
