“…Only 7 complications (2%) requiring removal or revision of the implant were noted. In 1972, Kormorn and Olson 45 reviewed 15 methacrylate implants secured in position with wire sutures, noting the absence of postoperative complications. The same year, Cabanela et al 46 reported the absence of sclerotic or erosive changes to bone adjacent to the acrylic plates in 33 patients followed for 1 to 14 years.…”

The deformity in the bony contour of the forehead following the osteoplastic flap procedure on the frontal sinus, termed embossment, occurs in a small but definite number of cases. This complication arises from the combined processes of resorption and deposition of bone following disturbance of the periosteum in performing the operation. A simple and highly reliable method of cosmetic correction employing acrylic cranioplasty has been successfully utilized in a series of cases without complications. The details of the operative technique will be outlined.

The correction of contour defects of the frontal bone has been accomplished with a variety of autogenous and alloplastic materials. We report our experience in reconstructing 11 cases of congenital, traumatic, and postsurgical frontal defects with acrylic. The acrylic was cured intraoperatively within the defect in some patients, or prefabricated into a prosthesis and wired into position in others. The operative techniques for both methods of repair are detailed. The reconstruction was successful in all cases and there were no complications. The acrylic implant has been found to be well tolerated after 2-10 yr follow-up. The value of the construction of a facial moulage is stressed, especially when restoration of the orbital rim is required.
