Introduction

Some young patients with a significant skeletal shift with a strong morpho-aesthetic and psychological impact may require surgical correction during their growth.

Materials and Methods

A good understanding of facial growth, the different treatment options and the effects of surgery on the post-operative growth pattern will allow the practitioner to use the technique most suited to each of his patients and improve long-term treatment outcomes.

Results

So-called « interceptive » surgery may therefore be considered in cases of severe skeletal dysmorphism of secondary or functional origin. It will lead to early normalization with the immediate consequence of breaking the « dysmorpho-dysfunctional » spiral.
