In the case of hypoplastic mandible or retrognathia (reduced projection of the chin), Dr Otto places a special anatomical implant, using a small hidden incision under the chin.
There are no external sutures or drains, however the patient must use an elastic bandage for 3 days.
The operation is usually performed under local anesthesia and sedation.
Patients return home the same day.
This is a very popular operation, which gives the face its desired proportions for a harmonious profile.
