This study presents a standardized, three-step surgical technique to correct witch

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Aesthetic Medicine
  • Facial Anatomy

Background:

  • Witch's chin is an aesthetic defect involving premental tissue ptosis and deep submental folds.
  • Mandibular hyperprojection can exacerbate the deformity.
  • Treatment must address one, two, or all three components.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To standardize a progressive, three-step surgical technique for witch's chin correction.
  • To offer a technique adaptable to varying degrees of deformity.

Main Methods:

  • A progressive surgical technique with three distinct steps was developed.
  • The technique allows for omission of subsequent steps once satisfactory results are achieved.
  • The method was applied to five patients.

Main Results:

  • The standardized technique was successfully performed in five patients.
  • The mean follow-up period was 12 months.
  • Representative cases with figures are presented.

Conclusions:

  • A standardized, progressive surgical technique effectively corrects witch's chin.
  • The stepwise approach allows for tailored treatment based on deformity severity.
  • This method offers a versatile solution for witch's chin correction.
