Lower facial contour is determined by mandibular bone and overlying soft tissues.
Reduction mandibular contouring for correction of wide rectangular lower facial shape in North East Asians has been so popularized.
Mandibular bone is composed of mandibular angle, body and symphysis.
Previously, main objectives of reduction mandibular contouring had been confined to reduction of mandibular angle and a portion of mandibular body.
Nowadays, there is an increasing demand for making the chin area more slender in shape in North East Asians.
We have applied V-line chin plasty with various methods according to the symphyseal height and width.
