A dvancement genioplasty, compared with alloplastic implantation, can provide both functional and aesthetic benefits for the patient. 1-5 Yet, despite numerous modifications and progress in advancement genioplasty, 6-11 facial plastic and plastic surgeons, unlike oral maxillofacial surgeons, seldom use this technique. 12,13 Much of the present literature about advancement genioplasty is found in oral surgery journals. It is likely that facial plastic surgeons' comfort and familiarity with alloplastic implants contributes to their more widespread use of these implants than of advancement genioplasty. Although an alloplastic chin implant is faster and easier to perform than an advancement genioplasty, it can produce complications, including infection, chronic inflammation, extrusion, variable bone resorption, capsular contraction, displacement, and chin ptosis. 3,14 Some have reported that advancement genioplasty allows for the correction of more complicated deformities, provides greater patient satisfaction, permits heightened predictability, and provides greater stability than alloplas-tic implantation. 3,5,13 We believe that advancement genioplasty is a valuable tool for the facial plastic surgeon in offering both aesthetic and functional benefits for the patient. In the present study, we describe a safe, reliable, and effective method for the osteotomy performed in advancement genioplasty and our results using this technique during the past 17 years. Methods The John Peter Smith Hospital Institutional Review Board approved this retrospective study of medical records of patients who had undergone advancement genioplasty. Patients were included in the review if they underwent an advancement genioplasty from September 1997 to September 2014, using the technique described below. Patient medical records were reviewed between January and March 2015. Patient demographic data, indications for advancement genioplasty, and IMPORTANCE Advancement genioplasty is a versatile procedure able to address both functional and cosmetic issues. It is commonly performed by oral surgeons and less so by facial plastic and plastic surgeons, presumably because of its inherent risks. OBJECTIVES To present our technique for advancement genioplasty and our aesthetic and functional outcomes. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A retrospective review was conducted of the medical records of 126 patients who had undergone advancement genioplasty with our modified technique in a private practice setting from September 1997, through September 2014. Our analysis was performed between January and March 2015. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Description of technique and evaluation of complication rates, improvement in sleep apnea symptoms, and patient satisfaction. RESULTS The 126 patients had a mean age of 39.8 years. There were 81 male and 45 female patients. The overall complication rate was 6.3% (8 of the 126 patients). Complications included plate extrusion in 2 patients, infection in 2 patients, mental nerve injury in 3 patients, and tooth root injur...
