Rhinoplasty is the most common facial plastic surgery procedure. The appearance of the face must be considered as a whole to achieve the best results, but assessment of the chin is often overlooked. The aim of this paper was to determine the need for mentoplasty after rhinoplasty.
Adobe Photoshop CS6 (Adobe Systems, San Jose, CA) was used to analyze 200 consecutive rhinoplasty patients, 170 of whom were included in this study. We used Silver and Agarwal's method for assessment of the chin.
A total of 170 profile photographs were analyzed. Of these patients, 58.2% (n = 99) had normal chins, 40% (n = 68) had small chins (microgenia), and 1.8% (n = 3) had over-projection. There were no statistically significant differences between men and women.
Chin projection is an important component of facial euphony. Approximately half of the rhinoplasty patients we assessed would also benefit from mentoplasty. Surgeons that perform rhinoplasty should discuss mentoplasty with their patients to achieve the best results.
隆鼻术是最常见的面部整形手术。为了获得最佳效果，必须从整体上考虑面部外观，但下巴的评估常常被忽视。本文旨在确定隆鼻术后是否需要进行隆颏术。
使用Adobe Photoshop CS6（Adobe Systems，加利福尼亚州圣何塞）对连续200例隆鼻患者进行分析，其中170例纳入本研究。我们采用西尔弗和阿加瓦尔的方法评估下巴。
共分析了170张侧面照片。在这些患者中，58.2%（n = 99）下巴正常，40%（n = 68）下巴短小（小颏畸形），1.8%（n = 3）下巴过度前突。男性和女性之间无统计学显著差异。
下巴前突是面部和谐的重要组成部分。我们评估的隆鼻患者中约有一半也将从隆颏术中受益。进行隆鼻手术的外科医生应与患者讨论隆颏术，以获得最佳效果。
