Abstract
We believe that the extended SMAS technique may be useful in selected facial cleft patients. In three Treacher Collins patients, this technique produced a modest improvement in the quantity and quality of the malar soft tissue that had not been achieved after orbitozygomatic or maxillomandibular surgery.
