Individuals undergoing the surgical correction of dentofacial deformities are becoming both older and more discriminating. Consequently, they often request specific esthetic improvements. To meet the desires of such patients, adjunctive surgical procedures to the planned orthognathic surgery are becoming more commonplace. One of the more frequent procedures performed is the transoral submental lipectomy. This article discusses the evaluation of the submental region, the indications for transoral submental lipectomy, and the surgical technique. Several case indications illustrate the results of this procedure.
接受牙颌面畸形外科矫正的患者年龄越来越大，要求也越来越高。因此，他们常常要求进行特定的美学改善。为满足这类患者的需求，在计划的正颌外科手术中增加辅助手术程序变得越来越普遍。其中较常进行的一种手术是经口颏下脂肪切除术。本文讨论了颏下区域的评估、经口颏下脂肪切除术的适应证及手术技术。几个病例适应证说明了该手术的效果。
