Cervical soft tissue contouring (e.g., submental lipectomy) is indicated with genioplasty
Cephalometric analysis uses lateral and AP radiographs to assess the underlying bony structures and soft tissues in greater detail when indicated, although this is not commonly performed in the general population. Generally, it is recommended to obtain cephalometric radiographs if patients are indicated for osseous genioplasty [100] (Fig. 13).

These studies are essential for a better understanding of the relationship between an individual patient’s skull base, maxilla, and mandible [112]. Identification and analysis of various soft tissue and skeletal landmarks utilizes various analytical guidelines which are not detailed in this chapter. Expanded discussion of lateral radiograph analysis using the methods of Ricketts [113], Steiner [114], Burstone [115], and Gonzalez-Ulloa et al. [116] is well described in the cited articles, as well as their application.
Additionally, the skin quality and texture should be examined prior to surgery from both side and frontal views. Factors to note include thickness, excess laxity, and irregularities/asymmetry of the soft tissue. Ptosis of muscle and cutaneous tissues may be unaesthetically emphasized with chin augmentation and may be better corrected with tissue repositioning, lifting, and/or resection. The chin pad and adjacent soft tissues should be assessed

at rest and with movement to determine the appropriate method of reconstruction [117].
3.3 Surgical Techniques
3.3.1 Implant Augmentation
The implants used in genioplasty are composed of similar materials discussed previously in cheek augmentation. Longer, laterally tapered implants are well utilized in patients who would benefit from lateral mandibular contour improvements. Button implants are rounder in shape, placed medially to improve the projection of the central chin [97].
Currently, there are two well-defined techniques for the placement of chin implants. The extraoral (submental) approach utilizes a 2–3 cm incision in the submental crease into the subcutaneous fat. Some providers favor the submental approach, as it reduces the risk of infection with implant transfer through the oral cavity. There is greater visibility, allowing for improved ease of implant placement, and additional surgeries may be completed through this opening (neck lift, liposuction, platysmaplasty). The intraoral approach allows for dissection through a gingivolabial incision, eliminating the risk of resultant visible scarring [97, 118, 119] (Fig. 14).

With both approaches, the mentalis muscles are identified and divided to expose the mandibular periosteum. Implants can be placed in a supra- or subperiosteal plane, each with their own benefits and risks. If the subperiosteal plane will be used, two vertical incisions are made bilaterally about 2 mm from the midline into the mandibular periosteum. Use of a periosteal elevator allows for creation of a 1 cm dissection plane beneath the mandibular periosteum, extended to the length of the implant. Lateral dissection along the mandible risks damage to the mental n. necessitating identification and preservation during the procedure. The implants should not be placed over this nerve, although lateral projection can be achieved with narrower implants inserted below [97].
Supraperiosteal implants are shown to reduce anterior mandibular erosion, although a more stable fixation is achieved in the subperiosteal plane. Many surgeons prefer a biplanar implant placement, using supraperiosteal dissection at the medial aspect and transitioning laterally to the subperiosteal plane [98].
Alternatively, some surgeons prefer to fix the implant with a titanium screw placed at the anterior mandible and advanced to a depth of 4 to 5 mm. This method helps to maintain implant placement and reduces risk of migration. With all approaches, the implant should be secured to the periosteum along the midline, prior to re-positioning of the mentalis muscle [121].
Recently, the use of cancellous bone chips in lieu of silastic implants has been documented in the literature. This approach can be performed intraorally or sub-mentally, using similar incision and dissection techniques. Tissue bank alloplastic cancellous bone chips are placed into the subperiosteal pocket until the desired contour is achieved. Gentle manipulation is used to mold the chin as discussed in the preoperative consult, after which the periosteal incision is closed using figure of eight 4– 0 chromic sutures. This technique has the advantage of postoperative manipulation, as the shape of the chin can be corrected as needed (for a short time period) after the wound is closed [122].
Osteogenesis modulation is another technique that has been recently developed to enhance the bony contour without subjecting the tissues to invasive osteotomy augmentation. A battery-operated Modular implant is surgically inserted using the techniques described above, which will transmit electrical pulses directly against the mandible (Piezoelectric

effect), stimulating bone formation. Cephalometric analysis of the four patients before and after Modulator placement show improvements to mandibular length (average 5.26mm) and vertical curvature (average
23.5mm). There were no significant complications, and results were maintained at the 39-month follow-up. The Modulator is considered the world’s first practical, reliable, long-term implant for intramembranous bone remodeling, although its use in craniofacial malformations has not been assessed [123] (Fig. 15).

3.3.2 Osseous Genioplasty
Osseous genioplasty usually uses general anesthesia with nasal intubation preferred to endotracheal intubation for the improved oral visibility. Tumescent anesthesia is injected inferior to the mucogingival sulcus in the oral cavity and continued to the second premolar bilaterally. An incision is made (either with a scalpel or electrocautery device) into the mucosa of the labial lip. Additional caution should be taken to spare the frenulum, keeping above the gingival attachment.

Deeper, perpendicular incisions are used to dissect the mentalis muscle and gain access to the periosteum. Dissection within the subperiosteal plane exposes the mandibular border at the inferior aspect, taking care to avoid the mental foramen (located in the vicinity of the second premolar bilaterally). Once the mental foramen and neurovascular bundle have been identified and protected, exposure continues posteriorly to allow for optimal visibility [125] (Fig. 16).
Fig. 16 The use of robotic surgery such as with the Craniofacial Plastic Surgery Robot theoretically allows for improved identification of neurovascular structures and pre-planned drill paths based upon an individual’s specific anatomy [126]
After adequate exposure has been achieved, an oscillating bone saw is used to complete a full-thickness osteotomy at a pre-marked point on the anterior mandible. To avoid damage to the neurovascular structures, the cut should be made 6 mm below the mental foramen and 5 mm below the canine root [127, 128]. The angle at which osteotomy is performed should be precalculated to allow for optimal sliding of the mandibular segments. After the anterior portion is removed, a periosteal elevator is placed between the anterior detachment and the remaining mandible to fully separate both pieces. The genioglossus and geniohyoid muscles should remain intact, and they are stretched at this point if chin advancement is indicated [121].
Individuals with microgenia or inadequate chin projection are indicated for chin advancement, in which the anterior detached fragment will be advanced to the desired location and fixed in place with custom plates and screws. When vertical shortening of the chin is indicated, two osteotomies
https://t.me/medicina_free
are performed, allowing for improved vertical modification and/or removal of a bone segment. The lower osteotomy should be performed first to allow for stable bone removal. Any rough edges will be refined with a rasp after adequate fixation, and the tissues are closed in multiple layers [121, 129].
There are additional variations to this technique, including wedge genioplasty (removal of a bony segment) or interpositional genioplasty (insertion of a graft for added vertical length) [130, 131]. Customized modifications can be applied in the centering genioplasty, with a unilateral wedge removed from one side and augmentation of the bony structure upon reattachment. Telescopic genioplasty has been recently published, in which the width of the removed bone is no wider than the medial intercanthal width. This allows for improved chin projection while avoiding excessive widening or narrowing of the anterior mandible [121, 132].
3.4 Complications and Outcomes
Chin augmentation with implants incurs a relatively low rate of complications, and patients are often highly satisfied (>90%) with the surgical results [133]. There have been reports of possible implant-related complications, including infections, implant displacement, and dissatisfaction with surgical outcomes [134, 135].
Resorption of the anterior mandible bone is a commonly encountered adverse effect of silastic implant placement, due to the dynamic movements of the chin with expression and speech [107, 136]. Placement of implants in the supraperiosteal plane reduces the extent and occurrence of erosion. Many patients assessed with lateral radiographs after implant placement showed mild degrees of bone loss despite asymptomatic presentation, indicating a need for additional research regarding the true impact of this complication [134, 137].
Osseous genioplasty is a relatively more invasive and complex procedure, and as such incurs additional risk to patients. The rate at which complications occur has not been clearly established, with their frequency ranging from 3% to 30%. Documented adverse events resultant from osseous genioplasty include infection, hematoma formation, chin ptosis, dental/periodontal lesions, and irregular jaw contour [138, 139]. Of these complications, transient neurosensory disturbances had the most negative impact on patient satisfaction (Fig. 17).

4 Rhytidectomy
The removal of wrinkles, or rhytidectomy, involves removal of excess skin and surgical lifting of skin tissues. This procedure is commonly referred to as facelift, as it is performed in deeper (sub-SMAS) and/or superficial planes through various incision sites along the side of the face to lift and restabilize the tissues. To date, a variety of techniques have been described, trending in recent years toward minimally invasive approaches such as endoscopic facelift or MACS-Lift [141].
4.1 Review of Relevant Anatomy

The impact of skin aging of the upper face is discussed in greater detail with nonsurgical facial augmentation. With aging, weakening of ligaments and increased skin laxity can deepen facial folds (notably the nasolabial fold) and increased severity of jowls. The periorbital area is targeted by these changes as well, lending to the appearance of sagging eyelids and rhytids [142].
Extensive knowledge of the fascial layers is necessary when performing rhytidectomy, as many of the surgical maneuvers involve dissection within fascial planes. The superficial musculoaponeurotic system, or SMAS, is superficial to the parotid gland and significant for its facial muscle investments. Superficial temporal fascia (above the zygomatic arch) and temporoparietal fascia merge superiorly with SMAS tissues, and deeper investing fascial layers of the platysma muscle (neck) are integrated inferiorly [143] (Figs. 18 and 19).

The facial nerve emerges through the parotid gland and bifurcates at the pes anserinus, dividing into upper temporofacial and lower cervicofacial branches. The upper temporofacial branches include temporal, zygomatic, and buccal nerves, providing innervation to muscles in the upper face and cheeks. The mandibular and cervical nerves originate from the lower
