Coronal-splitting Reduction Genioplasty Combined with Bilateral Osteotomies of the Mandibular Inferior Border for Macrogenia
Toshitsugu Hirohi
Abstract:Summary:
There are various types of chin deformities, and the least established surgical method for deformity correction may be reduction for anteroposterior macrogenia. Anteroposterior macrogenia is commonly corrected by either setback genioplasty or burring reduction, but these approaches are less likely to produce aesthetically pleasing results. Both procedures have poor reduction effects because of the low response rate of soft tissues to skeletal alterations. There is a high likelihood of chin… Show more
