that such radical techniques enabled correction of severe congenital deformities. His technique of dissecting soft tissue from the facial bones with simultaneous intracranial exposure and circumferential mobilization of the orbits enabled drastic repositioning of the eyes and the skull. Tessier's techniques are based on the principle that the bones must be repositioned or reconstructed before the soft tissue can be repaired. Subsequent growth of this specialty was very rapid. Surgeons from the United States and all over the world visited Tessier to learn these new operative procedures. As a result of the surgeons he taught, Craniofacial Centers emerged in the U.S. Along with this came the multi-disciplinary team approach to provide consistency and safety with the most advanced treatment for patients suffering from facial anomalies. Dr. Tessier has remained the leader in this specialty for the past thirty years. His innovative techniques and contributions are too numerous to list. As he enters retirement, this specialty continues to grow rapidly due to contributions from craniofacial surgeons around the world. This ensures that craniofacial surgery will continue to offer new hope and promise to patients with facial deformities. End Return to News, Events & Articles
