    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Aesthetic Surgery

    Background:

    • Genioplasty alters chin and perioral aesthetics and function.
    • Bilabial incompetence necessitates specialized genioplasty techniques.
    • Facial muscle hyperfunction and vertical maxillomandibular excess are common concerns.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review genioplasty techniques.
    • To highlight a physiological approach combining osseous and soft tissue reconstruction.
    • To describe the modified Michelet genioplasty for vertical chin deformities.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of literature on genioplasty.
    • Identification and discussion of facial muscle hyperfunction and vertical maxillomandibular excess.
