Contouring of the Forehead Irregularities With Bone Biomaterial

The document describes two separate studies. The first study reports on the successful use of Cerament, a bone biomaterial, to correct forehead irregularities in a single 50-year-old male patient who had a deformity from a previous surgery. Four years after the procedure, the patient showed satisfactory results without complications, but the study's conclusions are limited due to the single case involved. The second study involved 14 patients (8 men and 6 women, average age 44) who underwent perioral soft tissue reconstruction using various surgical techniques tailored to their specific defects, which resulted from causes like bites, tumors, accidents, and scar contractures. The reconstructions were performed between February 2001 and April 2008 and included different types of grafts and flaps, with some cases requiring additional procedures to prevent scar contracture. The study was retrospective and did not require institutional review board review.
