Soft tissue response following genioplasty combined with anterior segmental osteotomy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Our main aim was to analyze soft tissue response of the chin following genioplasty with anterior segmental osteotomy, which enables optimal surgical planning of genioplasty.

Methods

Sixty-two patients who underwent genioplasty with concomitant anterior segmental osteotomy were divided into three groups depending on the direction of pogonion movement: G1 (without sagittal change), G2 (advancement genioplasty), and G3 (setback genioplasty). All genioplasties included height reduction. Hard and soft tissue measurements with cephalometry were performed at T1 (before surgery), T2 (after surgery), and T3 (after orthodontic treatment) for the analysis of sagittal and vertical changes. Correlation and regression analyses were conducted to analyze soft-to-hard tissue movem
