Improving Male Chin and Mandible Eesthetics

David M Straughan et al. Clin Plast Surg. 2022 Apr.

Abstract

The size and shape of the chin and mandible are fundamental to sexual dimorphism. Deficiencies in these structures distract from the male facial esthetic. When deficient, these areas of the facial skeleton can be augmented by alloplastic augmentation or skeletal rearrangement. This article discusses these alternatives with emphasis on the design and techniques of alloplastic skeletal augmentation.

Keywords: CAD/CAM; Chin implants; Genioplasty; Mandibular implants; Sexual dimorphism.
