Thank you very much. My main goal is to make my mandible appear less steep. Do you think that’s achievable with the proposed vertical shortening of the chin?
I’m a bit afraid that my mentolabial fold will end up being too deep as grafting is not planned. Do you think this can be an issue in my case?
Mentolabial Fold: More acute? - yes definitely. So be prepared for this. But i would guess that it would not be necessarily to deep - depends on who is judging.
Steepness:
1. If you would draw a straight line from the gonial angle to the tip of the chin, yes it would be less steep.
2. But because you only target the chin there will be a step-off between the steep mandibular border and the diagonal upward shifted chin.
3. With line (1) we just connect two landmarks and with line (2) we would draw a line along the edge of the mandibular border.
4. It is difficult to say how your perceived issue with steepness would improve. My guess it would not be significant.
What exactly is bothering you, how you look from the side or also from the front? What aspect exactly?
