If the jaw angle is wide and if it seriously affects the aesthetics, you can undergo a cosmetic surgery, known as mandibular angioplasty, on the mandibular angle area. This type of surgery is mainly divided into two categories: jaw angle osteotomy and jaw angle bone plate amputation.
1. Mandibular Angle Osteotomy: It is a surgery to narrow or improve the width and shape of the area by removing the angle of the mandible, which is suitable for people with hypertrophy of the angle of the mandible, and more obvious protruding to the outer side and the back.
2. Mandibular Angle Splitting and Amputation: It refers to the surgery of splitting and amputating the buccal cortical bone of the mandibular angle region from the sagittal plane to narrow the width of the lower part of the face, which is suitable for the cases where the angle of the angle of the mandibular angle and the lateral contour are basically normal but the lower part of the face looks wide from the frontal view.
Mandibular angioplasty is an invasive orthognathic surgery performed under general anesthesia, which carries certain anesthetic and surgical risks and must be performed by a professional orthognathic surgeon.
People with wide jaw angles should seek medical treatment in a timely manner and standardize their treatment under the guidance of a professional orthognathic surgeon in order to avoid adverse consequences.
