Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Aesthetic Surgery

Background:

  • Sagittal split ramus osteotomy is a common procedure for mandibular correction.
  • Facial contouring, particularly mandible reduction for a slender lower face, is highly desired in East Asian countries (Korea, Japan, China).
  • Performing separate procedures for osteotomy and mandible reduction presents challenges for patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of combining sagittal split ramus osteotomy with simultaneous mandible reduction.
  • To address the need for efficient facial contouring procedures in patients undergoing ramus osteotomy.

Main Methods:

  • Patients requiring sagittal split ramus osteotomy also underwent simultaneous mandible reduction when indicated.

  • Rigid fixation techniques and 2 weeks of rigid intermaxillary fixation were employed to ensure stability.
  • Postoperative stability and occlusion were carefully monitored.

    • Main Results:

    • The combined procedure yielded satisfactory aesthetic results.
    • Good postoperative stability was achieved, with no significant issues in achieving stable occlusion.
    • Simultaneous surgery demonstrated feasibility and effectiveness.

    Conclusions:

    • Combining sagittal split ramus osteotomy and mandible reduction is a viable and beneficial option for patients.
    • This integrated approach enhances patient convenience by reducing the number of surgical interventions.
    • The procedure is recommended for individuals seeking both mandibular correction and a more slender facial profile.
