Abstract

The aim of this study is to introduce a sophisticated method for malar reduction or augmentation through an additive manufacturing technology. Using the results of data analysis in KAVEH software, a surgical guide will be developed for both sides, which will be used in a zygomatic sandwich osteotomy. Both reduction and augmentation malarplasty could be done after osteotomy with outward or inward rotation of the zygomatic complex around the zygomatic arch based on pre-surgical analysis. We recommend usage of additive manufacturing technology in malar augmentation to obtain more precise and predictable outcomes.
