    Surgical correction of retrognathia improved patient self-image, but complications like relapse and lip issues occurred. Alternative surgical techniques are explored to reduce these adverse effects.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Orthognathic Surgery

    Background:

    • Retrognathia, a skeletal asymmetry, often affects young individuals.
    • Surgical correction aims to improve facial aesthetics and function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review outcomes and complications of surgical retrognathia correction.
    • To explore alternative surgical methods with reduced morbidity.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 26 retrognathia surgery cases.
    • Analysis of patient-reported benefits and surgical complications.

    Main Results:

    • Improved self-image and appearance were primary benefits for most patients.
    • Common complications included relapse, lower lip weakness, and numbness.

  • Functional bite improvement was a secondary benefit for some.

    • Conclusions:

    • Current surgical approaches for retrognathia carry significant complication risks.
    • Investigating alternative techniques like "C" cut, mandibular block, or vertical ramus osteotomy is warranted to minimize adverse effects.
