THE PROCEDURE:
1. INITIAL INCISIONS:
The midface infraorbital approach is performed using the surgeon’s
standard technique. Dissection should extend to the inferior
maxillary area.
|
|
| 2. PLACEMENT:
Insert the Midface B device through the infraorbital incision
and advance it to the desired position.
|
|
| 3. FIXATION:
Once the platform is in position, apply digital pressure
over the cheek to engage the tines in the soft tissue.
|
|
|
|
|
4. ELEVATION:
Elevate the midface tissues to the desired position by applying
tension to the anchoring leash. |
|
5. SCREW PLACEMENT:
Once optimal midface elevation has been achieved, note an appropriate
point on the infraorbital rim or zygomatic bone for screw anchor
placement.
|
|
6. CREATE ANCHOR
POINT:
An anchoring hole for the Midface B is drilled at the desired
position using the reusable drill bit. Tap the screw threads
into the drilled hole, using the reusable tap.
|
|
|
7. SCREW INSTALLATION:
Gently and slowly advance the screw anchor with installation
tool in a clockwise fashion.
|
|
8. TRIM:
Using clipper tool, trim off winged portion of the anchor screw
and excess leash.
