CIVA is a Craniofacial Interactive Virtual Assistant that serves as a guide to a patient’s surgical experience. CIVA provides in-depth information on nine of the most common craniofacial surgeries.

myFace seeks to relieve the stress and anxiety surrounding craniofacial surgeries by helping families to feel as prepared as possible for an upcoming surgery. CIVA walks individuals and families through the various stages of 9 craniofacial procedures, from pre-operation through surgery and post-operative recovery.

FOA

Fronto Orbital Advancement

A Fronto Orbital Advancement expands the space of the skull while improving facial appearance, particularly around the eyes.

Genioplasty

Jumping Genioplasty

An osseous genioplasty or bony genioplasty is a surgery where the shape of chin is changed by moving the chin bone forward.

Genioplasty

Sliding Genioplasty

An osseous genioplasty or bony genioplasty is a surgery where the shape of chin is changed by moving the chin bone forward, rather than using a chin implant.

Le Fort I

Le Fort I Surgery

During this surgery, the upper jaw (or maxilla) is separated from the rest of the face and repositioned. This repositioning is also called orthognathic surgery.

LeFort III

Le Fort III – Classic

Patients who undergo Le Fort III reconstruction are usually diagnosed with syndromic craniosynostosis. We have models for two types of the Le Fort III procedure.

LeFort III

LeFort III – Distraction

Patients who undergo Le Fort III reconstruction are usually diagnosed with syndromic craniosynostosis. We have models for two types of the Le Fort III procedure.

Monobloc

Monobloc – Classic

This operation can produce major changes in facial appearance and expand the volume of the skull for the treatment of brain compression.
