Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Li Fengyong
Mandibular angle plastic surgery is generally performed for an overly large or aesthetically unpleasing chin. This procedure can typically be divided into pathological correction and cosmetic augmentation. Pathological correction is more suitable for patients with developmental deficiencies or those who have developed asymmetrical mandibular angles due to trauma, helping to improve facial contour and boost self-confidence. Cosmetic augmentation is better suited for individuals with mandibular hypertrophy.
