title: [Reconstructive procedures for improving the facial contour].
abstract: From 1986 to 1992 in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in Innsbruck, in 102 patients with a congenital or acquired deformity of the face, 128 augmentations with Hydroxylapatite granules (in 36 cases) or with Ethylenoxid-sterilised lyophilised cartilage (in 92 cases) have been performed. Hydroxylapatite granules, filled in a Vicryl-tube and implanted subperiosteal solely, proved to be at well tolerated material and consistently in form. In different areas of the face implanted Ethylenoxid-sterilised lyophilised cartilage showed no loss of substance up to now.
