Abstract
Introduction: Sliding Genioplasty is an important tool in the aesthetic surgery of the lower third of the face, it allows the harmonization by moving the osteotomized segment in different planes. Objective: to describe the pre-surgical analysis for a Genioplasty in a patient with skeletal anomaly and macrogenia in the vertical and horizontal dimensions. Results: the analysis concludes a chin reduction in two planes, an infrequent procedure in the surgical management of the lower third. Discussion: although most of the corrections made today involve an advance or descent of the chin in cases of retro or microgenia, it is important to recognize other deformities and evaluate facial proportions, dental occlusion, cephalometric measurements and photographic images identifying the specific needs of each patient. Conclusion: performing a correct identification of the skeletal class and an aesthetic facial analysis allows identifying the type of deformity and planning its surgical management.
