On August 30, we did possibly the first custom LeFort II in the world, but most definitely the first custom non syndrome LeFort II in the world.
Surgery was long but everything was done as planned. An anticipated unit of blood was transfused. Immediate anesthesia emergence/extubation was uneventful.
Patient is post Op Day 2 and so far, so good.
Surgeon Prof.Dr. Celal Candirli, Designed & Assisted by myself (Giant)
Location was Acibadem Hospital in Istanbul. Implants were in titanium.
Classical LeFort II Osteotomy
Provide Facial Depth by mobilizing the entire central mid face.
Anterior Segmental Osteotomy (4 Maxillary Incisors - withOUT extractions)
Surgical Dental Decomposition of bimaxillary protrusion. Changes the asian or african profile into a more caucasoid profile (requested by the patient.) While the LeFort II segment moves counterclockwise the ASO segment with 4 maxillary incisors moves clockwise.
BSSO
Moves lower jaw forward to maintain the Class I bite relationship
GenioGiant
Modified Genioplasty, different from a T split or standard 2 piece genioplasty with its pivotal rotation to create a more bicycle seat jaw.
Jaw Angle Implants
Provide masculinization and attractive jaw line
Infraorbital-Malar-Zygomatic Implants
Augment & Recontour the Infras, malars, and zygos. Manage the step off in the infraorbital region from LeFort II Advancement.
Supraorbital-Glabella Implants
Drop the supraorbital rims, recontour and sharpen the glabella, manage step off from LeFort II Advancement at the nasion.
Temporal-Parietal-Frontal-Occipital-Mastoid Implants
Widen the forehead breadth, widen the temples and skull. Recontour the tall round skull to look more square and dom.
Drill Hole Canthopexies
Increase Canthal Tilt & reduce risk of ectropion after subcilliary incision through 3 lamina to bone.
Temporalis Muscle Resuspension
Prevent temporalis retraction & hollowing.
Why LeFort 2 was chosen over LeFort 3 in this case:
1. Provides better asymmetry correction in this asymmetric patient than a single piece LeFort III. A LeFort III + II is possible but not as stable.
2. Preserves orbital volume. This patient didn't have bug eyes.
3. More recontouring freedom
