Abstract

The treatment of facial deformities is also associated with correction of the chin position. The use of different genioplasty formats aims toadd a better contour, filling and symmetry to the anterior region of the mandible and adjacent to the chin, in addition to allowing alignment of the symphysis in the three dimensions. In this technical note, we aim to present a modification to the conventional procedure, chin wing osteotomy, as well as its applicability and execution.
