Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Facial Aesthetics

Background:

  • Mandibular angle resection is an effective but rarely utilized method for correcting facial defects.
  • This paper details a specific technique for mandibular angle resection, incorporating masseter muscle reduction and buccal fat pad removal.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a refined surgical technique for mandibular angle resection.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of this technique in correcting facial defects.

Main Methods:

  • The surgical technique involves an intra-oral approach, utilizing a reciprocating saw for osteotomy.
  • Preoperative radiological assessment of the mandibular angle is crucial.
  • The procedure may include partial resection of hypertrophic masseter muscles and the buccal fat pad.

Main Results:

  • Eleven mandibular angle resections were performed between 2001 and 2009.
  • Five patients underwent supplementary jawline contouring.
  • No permanent facial palsy was observed; one patient experienced temporary lower lip and chin hypoesthesia.

Conclusions:

  • The described surgical technique is simple and effective for mandibular angle correction.
  • Adherence to specific principles simplifies the procedure and reduces complications.
  • Adjunctive resection of masseter muscle and buccal fat pad can enhance aesthetic outcomes.
