“…duct, extends along the lower ventral border of the masseter muscle, up to the ventral side of the maxillary vestibule, located opposite to the upper second molar. This anatomical location makes it important for the definition of facial shape [2,10], especially in patients with masseter muscle hypertrophy. Thus, buccal fat pad resection provides excellent esthetic results for a more harmonious and proportioned facial contour.…”

“…Hasse and Lemperle [8] suggested the loss of 4 to 5 grams, though no scientific evidence has been found to support either quantity. It is also worth noting that partial removal of the buccal fat pad in the immediate postoperative period may be impaired by transoperative edema [2].…”

“…In general, such procedure has been reported as an incision 2 cm above or below the parotid duct in the buccal mucosa at the level of the second upper molar [8][9][10]. For Rubio-Bueno et al [6], the buccal fat pad is frequently found accidentally during orthognathic surgery.…”

Abstract:Orthognathic surgery involves correction of functional and often esthetic disharmonies. The purpose of this case report is to present the case of a 22 years-old female with class III dentofacial deformity that required orthognathic surgery to treat her malocclusion and buccal fat pad excision for optimizing soft-tissue facial contour. Treatment planning involved a counterclockwise rotation of the maxilomandibular complex with genioplasty based on digital 3D surgical planning using the Dolphin Imaging ® 11.7 3DPremium software. Prototyping splints allowed surgical procedures (bilateral sagital mandibular osteotomy associated to a Le fort I osteotomy) that corrected position of the gnathic bones. In the same surgical procedure, the buccal fat pad was partially removed for a sharp cheek contour giving a slimmer appearance to her face. After 5 months, the patient was reassessed and reported no complaints regarding esthetics or function. This case illustrates that a combination of orthognathic surgery and an esthetic procedure can result in a stable and harmonious facial as well as occlusal outcomes.

Patients ask for procedures with long-lasting effects. ArteFill is the first permanent injectable approved in 2006 by the FDA for nasolabial folds. It consists of cleaned microspheres of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) suspended in bovine collagen. Over the development period of 20 years most of its side effects have been eliminated to achieve the same safety standard as today’s hyaluronic acid products. A 5-year follow-up study in U.S. clinical trial patients has shown the same wrinkle improvement as seen at 6 months. Long-term follow-up in European Artecoll patients has shown successful wrinkle correction lasting up to 15 years. A wide variety of off-label indications and applications have been developed that help the physician meet the individual needs of his/her patients. Serious complications after ArteFill injections, such as granuloma formation, have not been reported due to the reduction of PMMA microspheres smaller than 20 μm to less than 1% “by the number.” Minor technique-related side effects, however, may occur during the initial learning curve. Patient and physician satisfaction with ArteFill has been shown to be greater than 90%.
