Dr. Lee's Academic Journal: Reduction genioplasty in three dimension

-


Today's post is dedicated to Dr. Jin-Su, Lee's academic journal from the PRS Korea 2018.
His journal is based from his know-hows and surgical experiences about genioplasty reduction. 

The chin area is very important as it completes the whole outer facial line. Therefore, patients usually do the chin surgery along with other contour surgery such as cheekbone reduction and the jaw surgery. 

Chin surgery is usually categorized in four different types: Reduction, Advancement, Setback, Implants. 
The basic method of chin surgery is to resect the center of chin bone in T-shape, pull it out and then gather the fragments of chin on the end sides to complete the V line.
This method is effective as in a way to prevent from droopy skin and predict the result before the actual surgery.




If the height of the chin is desired to be shortened, chin bone will be resected in a triangle shape, and T-osteotomy is recommended when the width to be shortened. 

At Faceline plastic surgery clinic, Dr. Lee recommends the T-osteotomy method as it can achieve natural chin line and facial reduction from the front as well as from the side.
He also suggests to find the right and experienced surgeon who can understand your face and your bone structures.

The laser procedure that you're worried about before the holidays, "If you want it to work, you have to choose according to your symptoms." The fine weather these days is good for a picnic, but the fatigue of the skin increases. This is because the atmosphere is dry and the oil and moisture of the skin is escaping, making it rough and prone to wrinkles, and strong UV rays can irritate the skin, causing freckles and blemishes. This is why laser treatments are popular these days, which can solve skin problems relatively quickly and easily.

 Jaw protrusion refers to a protruding lower jaw that makes the profile resemble a shovel. Typically, when the lower jaw develops, the chin at the end of the lower jaw also develops, resulting in a protruding chin typical of a shovel jaw. The extent of chin protrusion is determined by comparing how much the chin protrudes compared to the lower lip when viewed from the side. Interestingly, when analyzing shovel jaws, you can discover a surprising fact. As mentioned earlier, while there are cases where the chin protrudes significantly, there are also many cases where it does not. It's not always the case that the chin protrudes just because the lower jaw is already developed. Sometimes, it might appear that the chin protrudes due to its position relative to the already protruding lower jaw, but in reality, the chin itself may not protrude more than average. So, how can we determine whether it's a shovel jaw or not, if not solely based on chin development? The answer lies in the a...
