Abstract

Abstract Maxillary Le Fort II fracture reconstruction plays one of the challenging surgery in the field of maxillofacial trauma. The goal of treatment is reduction, reposition, fixation of fractures and restoration of occlusion. However, it is often not enough to bring back the appearance aesthetically. The challenge that we face today is that patients frequently complain about their nose postoperatively, hence, they believe that the deformity still remains. Secondary rhinoplasty post-trauma is often performed to overcome this deformity. We proposed direct rhinoplasty using diced cartilage fascia graft in Maxillary Le Fort II fracture reconstruction to provides better post-op aesthetic appearance. Reporting three cases of Maxillary Le Fort II fractures. All patients had undergone open reduction and internal fixation combined with rhinoplasty using diced cartilage wrapped with fascia. The graft provides a better nasal contour and shape, also camouflage irregularities. There was no clinical signs of graft absorption or infection. The patients were satisfied, and none of the patients complaint about their nose after surgery. Rhinoplasty using diced cartilage fascia graft simultaneously with ORIF is a breakthrough in Maxillary Le Fort II reconstruction. It brings off the incorporation of aesthetic surgery concept into reconstruction, annihilating post-op complaint from patients and preventing secondary rhinoplasty due to previous trauma.
