Aesthetic modifications of the mandibular angle are increasingly common. This study details surgical techniques for both reduction and augmentation of the mandibular angle, including results and potential complications.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Craniofacial Aesthetics

Background:

  • The mandibular angle is a key area for facial aesthetics.
  • Increasing interest in aesthetic modification of the entire craniofacial skeleton.
  • Surgical alteration of the mandibular angle is now a common procedure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address both reduction and augmentation of the mandibular angle.
  • To describe surgical techniques, outcomes, and complications.
  • To present representative cases of mandibular angle modification.

Main Methods:

  • Review of surgical techniques for mandibular angle reduction and augmentation.
  • Analysis of surgical results and complication rates.
  • Presentation of clinical case examples.
