Alloplastic implants have demonstrated longstanding utility in the augmentation of the facial skeleton. Although their popularity may have waned in recent years, their established efficacy endures. This review summarizes the techniques, limitations, and complications associated with the use of facial implants.
Given the recognized utility of facial implants in the augmentation of the facial skeleton, they have received little attention in the recent literature. Contemporary reports have focused on the refinement of techniques--with renewed interest in the vertical transoral approach, and expanding the scope of facial implants--that is, the utility of facial implants as alternatives and/or adjuncts to orthognathic surgery.
Facial augmentation using alloplastic implants remains a tried, tested, and true means of correcting skeletal insufficiencies and abnormalities. Thus, what was once old will be new again, and a renaissance in the use of facial implants will undoubtedly occur.
异体植入物在面部骨骼增大术中已显示出长期的效用。尽管近年来其受欢迎程度可能有所下降，但其既定疗效依然存在。本综述总结了与面部植入物使用相关的技术、局限性和并发症。
鉴于面部植入物在面部骨骼增大术中已得到认可的效用，它们在近期文献中很少受到关注。当代报告主要集中在技术的改进——重新关注经口垂直入路，以及扩大面部植入物的应用范围——即面部植入物作为正颌外科手术替代方案和/或辅助手段的效用。
使用异体植入物进行面部增大术仍然是纠正骨骼不足和异常的一种经过尝试、检验且可靠的方法。因此，曾经过时的方法将会再次流行，面部植入物的使用无疑将会迎来复兴。
