The shape of the mandible determines the beauty index of the face. Most people are dissatisfied with the shape of their face. They feel it is big and wide, but they don’t know what causes the unsightly face shape. How can they be improved? The following is a classification explanation for the eight types of skeletal large faces (the mandible is mainly discussed here, and the cheekbones are broken down separately).

1. Large and round mandible

Performance: The face is generally wide and the mandible is round. In addition to the wide bones, in many cases fat and muscles are developed, plus the cheekbones Big, commonly known as "big pie face".

Surgical method: resection of the mandibular angle and part of the bone at the lower edge of the mandible, that is, a long curved osteotomy of the mandibular angle, which can also remove part of the masseter muscle and buccal fat pad.

2. Overall square face with sharp edges

Performance: Facial soft tissue is less or moderate, the mandibular angle under the ears is sharp and angular, the mandibular angle is wide, and the face shape is square when viewed from the front Square or pentagonal.

Surgical method: Remove the large mandibular angle bone through osteotomy, and decide whether to remove the outer plate depending on the bone condition. Because the face is very bony, it is not recommended to remove the masseter muscle and buccal fat pad at the same time.

3. Straight-line mandibular line

Performance: The mandible is wide, but the mandibular angle below the ear is underdeveloped and moderately small. The chin is straight-shaped and angular, or rounded. Shape, looks very dull. Commonly known as "horse face".

Surgical method: Mainly remove the bone of the mandibular body, and also grind the mandibular angle area. Do not grind too much bone to keep the lower edge of the mandible smooth. Generally, chin bone shaping and chin narrowing are performed at the same time, or chin augmentation is performed at the same time. It is not recommended to remove the masseter muscle and buccal fat pad at the same time.

4. Square face with asymmetry on both sides

Manifestation: Taking the midline of the face as the benchmark, the lower facial bones are asymmetrical from left to right. This situation is very common. Most of the reasons are caused by the habit of chewing food with one tooth between the ages of 12 and 15, the period when facial bones are developing vigorously. Obvious asymmetry affects appearance and requires correction. Commonly known as "big and small faces".

Surgical method: Asymmetric osteotomy of the mandible is required to ensure the symmetry of the lower edge of the mandible based on the midline, minimize the left-right gap, and improve the "big and small face".

5. A fleshy square face

Symptoms: The mandible is well-developed and the chin is often in good shape. There is an obvious area with excessive and unsmooth lines in the middle of the lower edge of the mandible. This situation is often accompanied by obesity in the cheek area, giving people the feeling of "a face full of flesh".

Surgical method: Remove as much bone as possible from the mandibular angle and the lower edge of the mandible, and also remove part of the masseter muscle and buccal fat pad.

6. The fleshless square face

Performance: The face is often not big, but the mandible is well-developed and the mandibular angle is everted. The lower edge of the mandible and the mandibular angle area have clear lines. , tough, this situation is often accompanied by sunken cheek areas, giving people an "old", "old-fashioned" feeling.

Surgical method: With the purpose of changing the clear and strong lines of the lower edge of the mandible and the angle of the mandible, an appropriate amount of bone is removed from the angle of the mandible and the lower edge of the mandible to make the contour lines smooth and soft. For those with obvious facial sunken areas, facial autologous fat transplantation can be performed at the same time to fill in, weakening the stiff contours and making people look younger.

7. Square face with well-developed masseter muscles

Manifestations: big face, square face, thin skin; thin subcutaneous fat layer, but well-developed mandible, and weak muscles can be seen when chewing Flat profile. This condition is more common in men and gives people a "tough" feeling. At the same time, many women are also troubled by this face shape.

Surgical method: long curved osteotomy of the mandibular angle to remove bone from the mandibular angle and the lower edge of the mandible. At the same time, part of the masseter muscle can be removed. There will be a great improvement immediately after the operation.

8. Square face with right angles on the side

Manifestation: The angle between the ramus of the mandible and the edge of the mandible is close to 90°, the side profile is square and wide, the lines are tough, and most of the mandibular angles are enlarged The angle of the crowd is between 90-110 degrees, and in severe cases, it is at a right angle.

Surgical method: Long curved osteotomy of the mandibular angle, remove excess mandibular angle bone, reposition the mandibular angle, move it forward and upward, and create a mandibular angle of about 120° with smooth contour lines.
