Abstract

Facial aesthetics play an important role in the personality and beauty of a person. A 42-year-old woman who had a 12-year history of rhinoplasty before visiting us that her surgeon did an extraoral genioplasty by grafting excess cartilage of her nose to chin for esthetic reasons. The patient had a deformity that resulting soft tissue ptosis in the chin. To correct this, we removed grafted cartilages from the chin then performed a routine advancement genioplasty. Finally, we did bone grafting among advancement operations. Thus, we made the facial contour of her face appear slenderer and smooth after surgery. The surgeon must be aware of possible long-term complications.
