Background:
This study focused on the treatment protocol for macrogenia and surgical techniques of the semicircular ostectomy of the mandibular inferior border.
Methods:
Seven patients with macrogenia were treated following our treatment protocol including a preoperative assessment (the Delaire analysis), an operative design (three-dimensional reconstruction and simulation), operation techniques (semicircular ostectomy of the mandibular inferior border), and a postoperative evaluation.
Results:
Our treatment procedure provided an overall harmonizing effect on the lower facial contour. All 7 patients were satisfied with their aesthetic results. A few complications such as numbness and submental soft-tissue excess were observed, but they improved to different extent as time went by.
Conclusions:
Our treatment protocol for macrogenia is of great use to make the surgeries to be precisely and safely done with satisfactory results.
