Today, we can visually show whether the mandibular angle is good or not by comparing a set of mandible angle osteotomy with and without angle renderings. In addition, we can analyze whether the mandibular angle remains angle under what circumstances.

Effect picture of mandibular angle osteotomy: the whole mandibular angle arc changes from a broken line to an arc

I believe that after reading the comparison chart of mandibular angle osteotomy and angle retention above, everyone has a certain answer in mind:

From an aesthetic point of view, the natural, comfortable and beautiful mandibular angle has three criteria: 1 The vertical distance from ear lobe to mandibular angle is about 2.5cm 2 The mandibular angle is about 1cm from the ear lobe vertical line 3 The angle between the mandibular ramus and the mandibular margin is about 120 °. The mandible angle is the mandible angle, so the standard mandible has an "angle".

However, this does not mean that it is better to leave corners than not. For example, it is like human character. You can't generalize that extroversion is good and introversion is bad. As long as the whole contour is harmonious and the jaw line is smooth, it will look good.

In addition, whether to leave a corner or not is not based on your own will, but depends on your bones, soft tissues and other basic conditions.

Let's analyze in detail when the mandibular angle is left and when it is not:

I Adductor mandibular angle - no angle, valgus mandibular angle - angle

If the mandibular angle is adducted, the front side is narrow and the side side is square, it is not recommended to leave an angle, because even if the angle is left, the angle visible to the naked eye is not obvious, and the appearance of the valgus angle is much clearer.

II The osteotomy line is too high - no angle

Mandibular angle surgery is to reconstruct a new mandibular angle through osteotomy. If the doctor's osteotomy position is too high and reaches the ear lobe position, the angle will definitely disappear, and it will also give people the illusion that there is no mandibular angle.

III More fat tissue in mandibular angle - unclear angle, less fat in mandibular angle - left angle

If there is more fat on the mandibular margin, these fat tissues will cover the bone after surgery, resulting in unclear contour of the mandibular margin, that is, no clear angle can be seen directly;

However, if there is less fat, it is mainly a bone problem, mainly not a particularly serious mandibular angle, which is clearly visible after surgery.
