Normally, the length of the face is
1.3 times the width of the face. A long face refers to cases where the face is
much longer than this norm.
While a long face may be attributable
to the width of the face being too narrow, it is attributable to the length of
the face being too long and therefore diagnosed as a ‘long face’ in most cases.
In cases of a long face, patients may
not be able to fully close their mouth during their ordinary day to day life,
and their upper teeth and gum may be overly visible when smiling or laughing.
Moreover, they experience teeth
malocclusion with having openbite in often cases.
Long face surgical method
The surgical method to treat and
correct a long narrow face depends on the underlying issues of the face.
If the jaw is simply protruded is just long in length, the chin only can be cut to correct.
However, this must be proceeded with caution as the face may look unnatural
after cutting the chin only.
