A distraction assembly for the plastic surgery of the face, for correcting the upper and/or lower jaw, for example for removing an overbite, a cross bite, a cleft palate or for bridging bone structure that was removed by, for example, surgery, consists of a device with at least two elements which are axially moveable in relation to each other. The device can be completely implanted subcutaneously and can be indirectly or directly actuated without contact, especially by energy inductively supplied from outside.
