a Comparative Analysis of Subspinal and Conventional Le Fort I Osteotomy on Nasolabial Soft Tissues

Plain-language summary

Following surgical operations, patients have aesthetic expectations as well as functional ones. To minimize undesirable aesthetic results after surgery and to increase the effectiveness of the surgery, the surgical method used for maximum aesthetic results is important, both in pre-operative planning and during surgery. In addition, effective control of bleeding and subsequent edema during surgical operations is a high priority for clinical research in surgical applications. Controlling edema and soft tissue damage improves the quality of life of patients after surgery, reduces morbidity and provides greater comfort, and also allows patients to recover quickly and return to their daily activities sooner. Although the developing edema is temporary, it is known to cause serious depressive disorders in some patients. Minimally invasive approach and maximum aesthetic results during surgery are affected by the surgical technique. This study will contribute to the literature by comparing subspinal Le Fort osteotomy with conventional osteotomy.
