This study presents an advanced surgical technique for square face correction, involving the resection of mandibular angle hyperostosis, masseter muscle, and buccal fat pad. The method demonstrated excellent results in 10 patients, proving effective for square face treatment.

Area of Science:

Plastic Surgery
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Aesthetic Surgery

Context:

Square facial morphology is often associated with prominent mandibular angles, bulky masseter muscles, and prominent buccal fat pads.
Existing surgical techniques for facial contouring may have limitations in addressing all contributing factors to a square face.
There is a need for refined surgical approaches to achieve optimal aesthetic outcomes in square face correction.

Purpose:

To introduce and evaluate an advanced operative method for correcting square facial deformities.
To detail the surgical steps involved in resecting specific anatomical structures contributing to a square face.
To assess the efficacy and applicability of this new technique in a clinical setting.

Summary:

Related Experiment Videos

The presented surgical method involves the intraoral or combined extra-intraoral resection of mandibular angle hyperostosis, the bulky masseter muscle, and the buccal fat pad.

This technique aims to reduce the width and enhance the contour of the lower face, thereby correcting the square facial appearance.

Ten patients underwent the procedure, with follow-up ranging from 4 to 28 months, demonstrating positive outcomes.

Impact:

The advanced operative method offers a potentially ideal and applicable solution for patients seeking square face correction.
Successful application of this technique can lead to improved facial aesthetics and patient satisfaction.
This approach contributes to the armamentarium of surgical options for facial contouring and aesthetic enhancement.
