Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Facial Aesthetics
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Traditional mentoplasty methods include mandibular osteotomy or alloplastic implants, both associated with potential complications.
  • Improving chin projection is a key goal in mentoplasty procedures.
  • A novel technique, gliding mentoplasty, is presented as a simpler alternative.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe and evaluate the outcomes of gliding mentoplasty, a new surgical technique for chin projection.
  • To assess the safety, efficacy, and patient satisfaction associated with gliding mentoplasty.

Main Methods:

  • Gliding mentoplasty was performed on 12 patients using a 2-cm intraoral incision and subperiosteal dissection.
  • Key sutures were placed to allow forward sliding of the submandibular region, enhancing chin projection.
  • The technique involves mobilizing the mental area to improve pogonion projection and define the labiomental fold.

Main Results:

  • All 12 patients achieved symmetric chin projection following gliding mentoplasty.
  • A temporary submandibular dimple occurred in two patients, resolving within one month.
  • No revision surgeries or tissue relapse were observed during the mean 24.7-month follow-up period.

Conclusions:

  • Gliding mentoplasty is a straightforward, rapid surgical technique for chin augmentation.
  • The procedure is associated with low pain, quick recovery, and excellent cosmetic outcomes.
  • This novel technique offers a promising alternative for patients seeking improved chin projection.
