Abstract

Intraoral facial contour surgery is one of the most popular craniofacial cosmetic surgeries in China, in spite of its challenging surgical technique and serious complication, such as fracture and bleeding. In addition, the key point, such as inadequate tissue exposure and high soft tissue tension cannot be simulated using traditional three-dimensional model. Consequently, craniomaxillofacial surgery requires a long learning curve for young surgeons. This article describes the establishment and application of a new model for intraoral facial contour surgery. Compared to young surgeons trained using traditional three-dimensional model, the authors confirmed this new surgical model is more reliable and effective. Therefore, it is worthy of being popularized. Key words: Models; Simulation training; Education; Facial contour surgery
