Screw fixation mentoplasty.
A technique of transoral screw fixation mentoplasty is described for management of facial disproportion due to microgenia. One hundred and fifty-two patients followed for an average of 5.3 years revealed that screw fixation mentoplasty serves well to reduce perioperative morbidity and ensure a long-term improvement in facial balance and aesthetics.
