Unilateral hypaesthesia n = 6, temporary
Infraorbital nerve n = 1 permanent
Neuralgia infraorbital nerve n = 1, resolved after exploration
Neuralgia supraorbital nerve n = 1, resolved after exploration
Enophthalmia (3 mm) n = 1, resolved after implantation of silicone block
Asymmetry (3 mm) n = 3, no surgery necessary
