Cervicomental angle definition in the youthful patient (less than 40 years)

In clinical practice nowadays, one is faced with a group of patients still in their youth, demanding a more defined cervicomental angle. This specific group, aging less than 40 years of age, while the classical approach in this population addresses the osseous structures as per genioplasty or mental prosthesis, and for soft tissue definition, they frequently undergo submental liposuction. We noticed that in certain cases this is not enough and the patients can be still dissatisfied, these patients can highly benefit from our technique using the digastric corset in order to restore this congenital absence of cervicomental angle definition. This technique addresses and treats the anatomical malposition of the floor of the mouth, resulting in cervicomental angle widening in the youthful individual. In this technical note we will state the anatomical detail explaining its specific indication and benefit, specifically in this age group.
