| Summary: | Treating cases of facial asymmetry is always a challenge for oral and maxillofacial surgeons especially when the face has minor deformities and patients expectations are very high. Various non surgical and surgical techniques including orthognathic and orthomorphic surgeries with graftings have kept their milestones for treating such cases. This report presents a similar case of achieving fullness on unilateral side of face to accomplish symmetry which was treated using an interpoistional iliac graft in unilateral saggital split osteotomy to correct the disharmony of face. |
