“…1 Hellman's work, based on several thousand measurements, led him to arrive at certain conclusions regarding facial growth. His primary assertion was that the facial skeleton continues to grow throughout life; as important, Hellman realized that the shape of the face continued to change throughout life, and termed this process "morphological differentiation.…”

“…This occurrence is in keeping with what Hellman proposed in the last century: the facial skeleton continues to grow and change shape throughout life. 1 How to evaluate shape would be difficult were it not for the breakthrough in statistics during the past 10 to 15 years. It was Bookstein's contribution to the statistical evaluation of shape that enables one to evaluate the effect of aging on shape.…”

It is important for the cosmetic surgeon to evaluate the lower face before surgery and to understand that both bone and soft tissue can play a role in the appearance of the lower face in older individuals. A small lower face is highly attractive and conveys the impression of youth, and any soft-tissue procedure that can create the illusion of a diminutive lower face will improve the cosmetic result of the face lift procedure.

“…Craniometric and anthropometric studies support the notion of marked craniofacial growth changes during the first 5 years. 10,11,12 Ohtshuki et al 13 reported greater cranial base growth during the first 5 postnatal years, especially during the first 2-3 years, than during the remaining postnatal years.…”

Objective: To describe the growth, maturation, and remodeling changes of the mandible during infancy and early childhood. Materials and Methods: Seven Bolton-Brush Growth Study longitudinal cephalograms (N 5 336) of each of 24 females and 24 males, taken between birth and 5 years of age, as well as early adulthood, were traced and digitized. Five measurements and nine landmarks were used to characterize mandibular growth, remodeling, and degree of adult maturity. Results: Overall, mandibular length showed the greatest growth changes, followed by ramus height and corpus length. Corpus length was the most mature of the three linear measures; ramus height was less mature than overall mandibular length. The greatest growth rates occurred between 0.4-1 year; yearly velocities decelerated thereafter. The ramus remodeled superiorly only slightly more than it remodeled posteriorly. Male mandibles were significantly (P # .05) larger, displayed greater growth rates, and were significantly less mature than female mandibles. There were no significant differences in mandibular growth or maturation between Class I and Class II patients. Conclusions:The mandible displays decelerating rates of growth and a maturity gradient during infancy and early childhood, with males showing more growth and being more mature than females.

“…Harris, Gardner and Vaden (1999) found in a sample of 36 patients treated as adolescents that approximately 80% of the total increases in Cd-Gn, Cd-Go, and Go-Pg length during the posttreatment interval (mean = 14.4 years) occurred during the first 5.5 years after treatment. Similarly, the high increases in mandibular length (CdGn), ramus length (Cd-Go), and corpus length (Go-Pg) in the present study are likely to have occurred in the first few years after treatment as the result of parapubertal growth (Hellman 1927;Nanda 1955). The increase in corpus length was likely to be, in large part, a result of growth at the gonial process, whereas the increase in ramus length is assumed to be the result of growth of the condylar process (Nanda 1955).…”
