Correction of facial contour deformities with prefabricated sculptured implants. 1981

R K Dortzbach, and S C Alexander, and F C Sutula, and M J Hawes

Close collaboration between the ophthalmologist and ocularist is essential to achieve the best results in the correction of facial contour deformities with prefabricated, sculptured implants. We used previously described techniques to make such implants with RTV-382 silicone and methyl methacrylate resin to correct facial defects. One patient with bony defects of the forehead and superior orbital rim, and another patient with a superior sulcus deformity illustrate the value of these procedures.
