Musculoskeletal Changes as a Sequel to Advancement Genioplasty: A Long-Term Cephalometric Prospective Study

Abstract

Advancement genioplasty was considered as a relatively stable procedure, if adequate muscular pedicle and internal rigid fixation were maintained. The present study was of 2 years, and we can expect further changes in the hard and soft tissues, which are clinically irrelevant.

Hard and Soft Tissue Relapse After Different Genioplasty Procedures: A Scoping Review

“…After removing duplicates, 287 articles were selected for review by two independent reviewers. Thirty-eight articles were found to be eligible for full-text assessment, out of which 31 articles were further rejected due to the use of additional surgical procedures apart from genioplasty or an insufficient follow-up period of less than six months, and seven articles were included in this review (Figure 1) [1,5,[8][9][10][11][12].…”

“…Five studies reported up-to-date data regarding hard and soft tissue relapse at the pogonion in the horizontal and vertical directions at six months or more of the post-treatment follow-up period [ 1 , 5 , 8 , 10 , 12 ]. The average horizontal surgical advancement at hard tissue pogonion was 7.04 mm with a relapse of 0.69 mm after six months post-treatment.…”

“…Genioplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at altering the position and/or shape of the chin to improve facial aesthetics and function. The genial area can be modified in all three planes of space to alter the chin and improve the well-being of the individual [ 1 ]. Genioplasty addresses a variety of chin-related concerns, including recessive chin, protrusive chin, and asymmetry.…”
