Zigzag Genioplasty; Patients Evaluation, Technique Modifications and Review of the Literature

Abstract: Introduction: The purpose of our study was to evaluate patients and technique and complete a review of the literature related to Zigzag genioplasty. Materials and Methods: To address the research purpose, the investigators designed and implemented a prospective clinical trial study. Seven osteotomy types (I–VII) are proposed for genioplasty that will permit one to decrease the 3-dimensions of the chin. These osteotomy designs are based on the displacement of bone fragments on the slopes of an inclined plane w… Show more

“…Several surgical techniques are available for correcting and giving harmony to the lower third of the face. [1] In this respect, some well-known techniques seek to correct the shape and size of the chin using different kinds of chin implants or osteotomies in an effort to move it and change its spatial location, thus determining a new facial contour.…”

“…The soft tissue envelope of the chin area usually follows the genial osseous movement approximately 90% or more, but the predictability ratio of horizontal reduction genioplasty is limited; it follows approximately 50% to 60%. [1] Reduction genioplasty surgical procedure results in narrowing or shortening of the chin. However, the literature lacks data about the best technique, indications, complications, and long-term results.…”
