Mastopexy augmentation is a challenging procedure, and a technique to create desirable, consistent, predictable results with a low rate of problems has not been well standardized. The inherent difficulty lies in competing surgical maneuvers.

The surgical correction of unilateral coronal synostosis (UCS) aims to achieve longstanding facial and cranial symmetry. The authors hypothesized that endocranial morphology correction achieved by one-piece fronto-orbital advancement with distraction osteogenesis (FODO) could alleviate facial asymmetry because endocranial morphology is thought to be its major determinant.
