    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study presents an intraoral reduction mentoplasty technique for correcting a protuberant chin using subapical horizontal osteotomy. Overcompensation during bone removal is crucial for optimal aesthetic outcomes in profileplasty.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Plastic Surgery
    • Aesthetic Surgery

    Background:

    • Protuberant chin deformities affect facial aesthetics and profile.
    • Surgical correction often involves mandibular symphysis osteotomy.
    • Accurate patient evaluation is key for successful outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe an intraoral reduction mentoplasty technique.
    • To outline the necessary diagnostic evaluations.
    • To emphasize achieving maximum aesthetic improvement.

    Main Methods:

    • Intraoral subapical horizontal osteotomy of the mandibular symphysis.
    • Profileplasty for patients with a protuberant chin and normal occlusion.
    • Dental and cephalometric evaluation for treatment planning.

    Main Results:

    • The described mentoplasty technique is effective for chin reduction.
    • Overcompensation in bone removal is necessary due to postoperative changes.
    • Aesthetic improvement is maximized by careful surgical planning and execution.

    Conclusions:

    • Intraoral reduction mentoplasty via subapical horizontal osteotomy is a viable option for protuberant chin correction.
    • Careful preoperative assessment and surgical technique, including overcompensation, are vital for optimal aesthetic results.
    • This method offers a solution for patients seeking facial profile enhancement.
