Mandible Angle Resection
Overview
The extent of the mandible's outward protrusion distinguishes it from the neck and delineates the lower face. The mandibular angle and the chin are significant demarcation structures. The mandibular angle is the protrusion of the lower jaw in front of the ear's lowest section. The lower jaw's prominence frames the lower face. A comparable and proportionately pronounced mandibular angle is likewise desirable, just as high prominent cheek bones are linked with attractiveness.
The majority of individuals who seek mandibuloplasty want a slimmer jaw. Mandibuloplasty is more than only resecting mandibular angles to slim down the face; it is also a technique for sculpting an aesthetically beautiful lower face that integrates nicely with the upper and midfacial areas. To accomplish this, the general contour of the mandible must be examined, as well as genioplasty to produce an aesthetically acceptable lower face.
