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 or only the chi) 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.
Maxilla (Upper Jaw)
A surgery decision is
selectively made on maxilla, based on the status of the long face. In case the
face is insufficiently sized forward and backward due to excessive delay in
growth, in case vertical height is abnormal, and in case there is excessive facial
asymmetry, the maxilla is cut horizontally in most cases and then re-positioned
to the desired location.
Mandible (Lower Jaw)
SSRO or IVRO
Depending on the
patient symptoms, the most appropriate method between IVRO and SSRO is chosen
and used.
Chin (The Edge of the
Jaw)
If the length of the
face is long primarily due to overly developed lower jaw, then surgery is
performed to shorten the length by cutting only the chin.
