Maxillomandibular dysmorphia may be associated with structural chin pathologies. Three-dimensional jaws displacements have limits. Specific genioplasty is an additional surgical mean for soft tissues profile normalization. Osteotomy line is examined according an incline angle and a possible lateral extension, as chin wing technique, improves facial shape. Cephalometric set-up with R line analyzes surgical chin movements and impact of lower incisors labial inclination on lower lip and mentolabial fold after advancement genioplasty. Micro-implant anchorage is a precious help to find lower incisors good position and optimum lower occlusal plane frontal shift in asymmetric facial pattern. Orthodontics criteria are essential factors to access an aesthetic success in genioplasties procedures.

Optimizing Esthetic Outcomes and Bone Stability: Chin Advancement Through Inverted V Osteotomy.
J Craniofac Surg
June 2024
iWELL Plastic Surgery Clinic, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Traditional horizontal osteotomies for small and short chins often yield suboptimal results due to limited bone advancement, resulting in deep labiomental folds and heightened bone resorption risks. This study investigates the effectiveness of an innovative inverted V-shaped osteotomy technique in enhancing esthetic outcomes for patients with such chin concerns. Thirty-eight patients who underwent inverted V-shaped osteotomy for recessed chins between January 2018 and June 2022 were included.

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.

The chin plays a crucial role as a fundamental structural component that contributes to the overall aesthetics and harmony of the face. Recognizing its central position, medical science has seen the evolution of numerous surgical techniques over the years, all aimed at correcting the range of structural irregularities that can affect the chin. In this contribution, the authors introduce an innovative osteotomy technique, aimed at cases of chin asymmetry in which the skeletal median diverges from the dental median.

Background: Adult patients presenting with Angle Class II division 1 malocclusions that have a strong skeletal etiology can be challenging for clinicians, particularly if accompanied by retrognathia of the mandible and a dolichofacial growth pattern.
Case Summary: In this case report, we describe the successful orthodontic and surgical management of a 20-year-old woman with an Angle Class II malocclusion with a severe anteroposterior skeletal discrepancy characterized by mandibular deficiency. She had incompetent lips, dental and skeletal Class II malocclusion, high mandibular plane angle, mild mandibular crowding, and two missing maxillary first molars.
