Having a wider mandible is a common
phenomenon in the southern ethnic group.
For example, the so called wide, round
or square faces are all due to the result
of a protruded mandible or its aggrandizement.
As a result, women who like to pursuit
for oval shaped face will do anything
and think all types of methods to shrink
their cheeks to allow the flow line
of the face to look more smooth and
perfect.
The mandible area is a complex structure,
which is located from below the ear
and extending to the side of the jaw.
Its makeup most importantly is the
mandible and the chewing muscle, which
is closely attached above it. The
increase in the thickness of both
of these structures all have the possibility
to cause the mandible to protrude.
However, problems with the mandible
it self accounts for 80% of the reason.
In other words, the effect of patients,
in high proportion, relying on injecting
botulinus on the chewing muscle to
let the face become skinner is limited.
Therefore if wanting to seek obvious
and forever lasting effect, then patients
have to consider mandible reduction
surgery.
There are three major types of Korean
style mandible reduction surgeries.
They are mandibular angle reduction
surgery, mandible reduction surgery
and mandibular grinding surgery with
partially chewing muscle resection.
Surgeons are required to plan and
select the desired surgery method
and area during the pre-surgery evaluation.
There is also the possibility of using
the combination of two surgical methods
in the surgery in order to achieve
the best effects depending on the
protruding degree of the mandible.
