A 3-month review of genioplasty: In cases of chin asymmetry, simply advancing the chin can make the asymmetry appear more pronounced



The combined approach of genioplasty and autologous bone grafting

The combined approach of genioplasty and autologous bone grafting is an effective surgical method for correcting facial asymmetry. It plays a crucial role in enhancing facial harmony, particularly by maintaining natural soft tissue and reinforcing volume, which significantly improves post-surgery satisfaction

Correction of mandibular body asymmetry using genioplasty

To correct mandibular body asymmetry, the amount of advancement on the right side was minimized, while the advancement on the left side was increased.

PCL Autologous Bone Grafting for Increased Body Volume

Autologous bone grafting utilizes the excess bone generated during surgery to enhance volume. For example, the excess bone removed during the square jaw surgery can be used to improve the width discrepancy of the mandibular body, particularly in cases of left-right asymmetry. This helps maintain the natural soft tissue after surgery and prevents volume reduction.
