Description
Joon-Bum Hong and three colleagues published a surgical case report in two thousand twenty-three on chin reshaping. A chin that juts too far can be moved back by setback genioplasty. The standard operation can leave the chin profile flat and less pleasing.
The authors describe a modified method that rotates the cut chin segment as it moves back. Virtual surgery planning let them set the exact range in advance and shortened operating time. They compare how the soft tissue over the chin responded under the old and new methods. The rotated approach kept a more natural lip-to-chin curve in their case. The report offers the technique as an option for facial surgeons.
