Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Aesthetic Surgery

Context:

  • Square facial types often present aesthetic challenges related to mandibular prominence.
  • Surgical correction of mandibular morphology is a common procedure in plastic and reconstructive surgery.
  • Achieving facial harmony requires precise surgical planning and execution.

Purpose:

  • To investigate and present a refined surgical methodology for mandible osteotomy.
  • To harmonize the appearance of square facial types through tailored osteotomy techniques.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and patient satisfaction with integrated mandible osteotomy procedures.

Summary:

  • A retrospective analysis of 312 patients undergoing various mandible osteotomy techniques (angle, edge, half-ring, chin augmentation) between 1996 and present.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Procedures included mandible angle and edge osteotomy (200 cases), mandible edge osteotomy (23 cases), mandible half-ring osteotomy (15 cases), chin sharpening (9 cases), and chin augmentation (32 cases).
  • Postoperative follow-up in 150 patients over 1-12 months demonstrated a high overall satisfactory rate of 97%.

    • Impact:

    • The integrated mandible osteotomy approach offers a reliable solution for improving facial aesthetics in patients with square jawlines.
    • This surgical strategy can significantly enhance the natural appearance and perceived attractiveness of the lower face.
    • The high satisfaction rate suggests the clinical effectiveness and patient acceptance of these surgical modifications.
