Abstract: (187 Views)
Facial neurofibromatosis causes disfigurement and aesthetic challenges due to the development of facial nodules. Managing this requires a tailored approach considering the condition's impact on self-esteem and quality of life. This article explores midface lift and forehead lift surgeries in addressing facial neurofibromatosis, highlighting their rejuvenating effects on facial skin and contours. A case study is presented, providing insights into the efficacy of surgical correction in improving aesthetic outcomes and patient well-being. A 48-year-old woman with neurofibromatosis and facial nodules underwent a two-stage surgical intervention involving midface lift and forehead lift. The midface lift involved repositioning underlying tissues and removing excess skin, resulting in improved appearance. The forehead lift elevated eyebrows and smoothed wrinkles and furrows. Postoperatively, the patient experienced significant improvements in facial symmetry, contour, self-esteem, and quality of life. The surgical outcomes were successful, with no major complications observed during recovery. This case study demonstrates the efficacy of combining surgical techniques to restore facial symmetry and contour in patients with neurofibromatosis. The study highlights the importance of individualized care and the potential for surgical intervention to improve well-being. Further research and long-term follow-up studies are recommended to optimize treatment outcomes in craniofacial surgery for neurofibromatosis.
