SKELETAL ASYMMETRIES
Congenital asymmetries of the facial skeleton are usually more complex than
localized areas of volume excess or deficiency. Rather they resemble a warping or twisting of the facial skeleton. This is difficult to discern on physical
examination or plain X-rays but becomes obvious with three-dimensional
CT imaging. CT data also allows fabrication of hard or virtual models for
planning. Computer-aided design and manufacture (CAD/CAM) of implants
provides added sophistication when addressing significant asymmetries (see
Chapters 14 and 15).

SECONDARY SURGERY
Mentalis muscle damage
In the author’s experience, which is similar to Zide’s,24 most patients presenting for additional surgery have had implants placed through an intraoral approach. Some of these patients have problems related to mentalis
152
dysfunction, which includes lower lip descent with increased lower incisor
show, a deep sulcus, and often, chin pad ptosis.

Correction of these deformities requires resuspension of the mentalis. Using
https://t.me/medicina_free
both intraoral and submental incisions, the chin soft tissues are freed in a subperiosteal plane. A Mitek (Mitek Worldwide, Norwood, MA) anchor is then
placed between the tooth roots and is used as a post to attach the remnant of
the mentalis muscle. The chin pad is also secured to the menton. The chin must
have enough projection to support the elevated chin pad (Fig. 11.25). If projec-
tion is inadequate, chin augmentation is required. Fig. 11.26 shows a sagittal
view of mentalis disruption after horizontal osteotomy of the chin with plateand-screw fixation of the advanced segment. Scarring of the muscle to the fixation material at the step-off complicates the repair. In this situation, an implant
is placed to eliminate the step-off during the mentalis muscle repair.

Implant-related deformity
Dissatisfaction with previous chin implant surgery most often includes implant
asymmetry (particularly with extended implants), implant malposition, and
poor implant-to-native mandible transition (Figs. 11.14 and 11.16).
Revision surgery requires implant removal and replacement with an
appropriately sized, shaped, and positioned implant (Fig. 11.27). Removal

asymmetry and unnatural appearance of her chin. Through a submental approach, the silicone implant was removed. It was replaced

of a smooth-surfaced implant often reveals a distorted soft tissue enve-
https://t.me/medicina_free
lope. The distortion will worsen with time due to ongoing soft tissue
contraction forces if the soft tissues are not supported with an adequate
infrastructure. This distortion can be lessened if the soft tissue envelope
is redraped over another implant or an advanced skeleton after horizontal
osteotomy.
The bone erosion that is inevitable beneath smooth implants and visible on X-rays often raises concern, but is not clinically apparent. However, it may complicate secondary surgery by creating an irregular skeletal
surface.
Bone erosion resulting from an implant positioned over a tooth root may
cause symptoms necessitating root canal surgery. Fig. 11.28 shows a CT scan of
a patient who presented with dental pain resulting from implant-induced bone
erosion damaging a tooth root.

Sliding genioplasty
SLIDING GENIOPLASTY
Sliding genioplasty involves a horizontal osteotomy of the mandible just
beneath the mental foramen. A freed chin point is positioned as desired, usually anteriorly, to increase chin projection, but theoretically, it can be moved in
any direction. It is usually performed through an intraoral incision, although
the author prefers the submental approach. Strap muscles are left attached to
the distal bone segment to preserve the vascularity of the free segment. Most
often, the distal segment is immobilized in its new position with rigid fixation.
The main advantage of this technique over implant augmentation of the chin
is its ability to increase the vertical height of the chin. The space between the
mandible and the repositioned segment is maintained by filling it with a bone
graft or an alloplastic implant. Another advantage of horizontal osteotomy is
that when the chin point is advanced, the suprahyoid muscles are put on a
stretch, therefore decreasing submental fullness and improving submental contour (Fig. 11.29).

Disadvantages of sliding genioplasty include the risk of mentalis muscle
damage, when performed through an intraoral incision, and possible trauma
and even division of the mental nerve during osteotomy. Sliding genioplasty
requires considerable facility in bone carpentry. Free segment malposition or
improper fixation can lead to obvious asymmetries. When the osteotomy is
made oblique, the distal segment can be shortened as it is advanced, which not
only accentuates border irregularities but also causes the bone cut to exit the
inferior mandibular border where the soft tissue coverage is more tenuous and
exposes the notching. The notching or indentation is especially detrimental to
those who have a preexisting prejowl sulcus. The shortened distal segment also
creates a poor chin–anterior mandible transition, resulting in a “stuck-on” chin
appearance (Fig. 11.30). These problems are avoidable with proper technique.
By lowering the bone cut anteriorly, one can eliminate or minimize the obliquity
of the osteotomy and, therefore, any shortening with a more proximal inferior
border exit.

of patient who had undergone sliding genioplasty and sagittal split osteotomy. This model demonstrates a poor transition between the advanced chin segment and mandible as
well as indentation along the mandible border at osteotomy
sites.
Despite its continued vascularization after osteotomy and advancement, the
advanced segment of the osseous genioplasty is susceptible to resorption, most
likely due to the altered bone–soft tissue relationship. This bone resorption not
uncommonly allows fixation hardware to become prominent, causing distortion of the overlying soft tissue envelope (Fig. 11.31).

prominent due to resorption of advanced osteotomy segment as

The mandibular border step-off deformity (notch) and to some extent the lack of
transition with the repositioned chin can be corrected with implants. Implants
are available that bridge the gap between the advanced segment and the intact
mandible (Fig. 11.32). A patient who had revision surgery for this notch deformity is shown in Fig. 11.33.
