Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Facial Aesthetics

Background:

  • Microgenia, a condition causing facial disproportion, requires effective management.
  • Surgical interventions aim to restore facial balance and improve aesthetics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a transoral screw fixation mentoplasty technique.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and long-term outcomes of this procedure for microgenia.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 152 patients underwent transoral screw fixation mentoplasty.
  • Patient outcomes were followed for an average of 5.3 years.

Main Results:

  • The screw fixation mentoplasty technique demonstrated a reduction in perioperative morbidity.
