How Can I Fix The Hollowness In My MIdface After A LeFort I Osteotomy?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I had orthognathic surgery in April to correct jaw misalignment and a pretty serious overbite. I now have hollowness in my midface and some asymmetry of soft tissue between my left and right side of my face, and I am looking to get opinions on which midface implants would be the best option for me.

A:This is a pretty common sequelae post LeFort I, particularly if one had some infraorbital-malar deficiency to start. This is treated in many such cases by a custom infraorbital-malar implant design as per the attached images.
