Abstract

The use of polydimethylsiloxane prostheses to improve facial appearance in patients with Down's syndrome is reported. In 1 year, 50 patients were treated with 120 prostheses. A follow-up of 8 to 18 months showed that a low incidence of minor complications occurred. Combined with the satisfactory results experienced, this makes the procedure safe and desirable.
