title: [Preserving and improving the profile in primary and secondary orbital reconstruction].
abstract: Computed tomographies in 15 patients following reconstruction of multiple-wall defects of the orbit following trauma and tumor demonstrate a correlation between moderate overcorrection of the orbital bony frame and a good aesthetic profile. Reconstruction of the deep orbital cone, the transition level between the orbital floor and medial orbital wall, as well as the convex shape of the medial orbital wall, are of great importance for good results.
