RESUMO
We describe the planning and one-stage surgical correction of acromegalic facies. Patients with this condition may benefit from a relatively short treatment to solve both their aspect and their buccal functional problems. The aggressiveness of the surgical treatment, along with the characteristics of the disease, may make the permeability of the airway during the postoperative period problematic; therefore, we believe that temporary tracheostomy is indicated.
