Endoprosthetic reconstructive surgery with medical grade long term implantable silicone in facial asymmetry.
The authors present their experience over a period of 13 years (1998-2011) regarding a cohort of 54 patients. In an extensive loss of tissues resulted from congenital malformations (maxillary and mandibular malformations, micro stoma), collagenosis (scleroderma, Romberg Syndrome), traffic and work accidents, post surgical (cancer and facial nerve paralyze), when usual surgical procedures fail to establish the normal look of the patient medical grade long-term implantable silicone endoprosthetic reconstruction (rehabilitation) intervenes.  Using a specific technique and materials like long-term implantable silicone grade, the resulted endoprostheses replace and create the aesthetic and a normal anatomy of the specified region, very well tolerated, elastic and non-allergic and with a perfect acceptation from the body all the life.
