Corrective surgery for hollow cheeks.
Abstract
A new method is reported for correction of hollow cheeks. A dermal and submucosal graft removed from the buttock is transferred to a subcutaneous pocket made in the endoral wall of the cheek on the other side of the hollow area. The dental arches push the soft tissues of the cheek outward, thus causing the hollow to disappear.
