Adjunctive soft tissue surgical procedures to enhance facial esthetics can be performed simultaneously with orthognathic surgery. Submental-submandibular liposuction was performed with orthognathic surgical procedures in 22 patients from April 1989 to May 1990. Patients ranged in age from 18 to 48 years. Fourteen patients had submental and eight patients had both submental and infralobular incisions. The average estimated amount of fat removed was 40 to 50 cc. In this series of patients there was a marked improvement in facial esthetics. Liposuction created greater definition of the submandibular region and a more distinct jawline, with an improved cervicomental angle. Patients appeared younger. No significant complications occurred, and patient satisfaction was high. A survey of oral and maxillofacial surgery training programs in the United States was conducted to determine experiences with liposuction. Survey results are presented. Our survey results are consistent with our clinical experiences with this procedure.
为改善面部美观而进行的辅助性软组织外科手术可与正颌外科手术同时进行。1989年4月至1990年5月期间，对22例患者在进行正颌外科手术的同时实施了颏下-下颌下吸脂术。患者年龄在18至48岁之间。14例患者采用颏下切口，8例患者采用颏下和小叶下切口。估计平均吸出脂肪量为40至50立方厘米。在这组患者中，面部美观有显著改善。吸脂术使下颌下区域轮廓更清晰，下颌缘更明显，颈颌角得到改善。患者看起来更年轻。未发生重大并发症，患者满意度较高。对美国口腔颌面外科培训项目进行了一项调查，以确定吸脂术的经验。现将调查结果公布。我们的调查结果与我们在此手术中的临床经验一致。
