ABSTRACT
The prominent mandibular angle is one of the disfiguring features in the Oriental, commonly seen and considered to be unattractive. Because it gives a square and muscular facial appearance, its surgical correction is dine frequently as a modality of facial contouring surgery in the Oriental. The reduction mandibular angleplasty is not a simple surgical technique for the unexperienced surgeon. We adopted C-arm fluoroscopy as a method of identifying the osteotomy line for the beginners. The reduction mandibular angleplasties assisted by C-arm fluoroscopy were performed in 9 patients, providing symmetric and satisfactory results. Now we are sure that the reduction mandibular angleplasty assisted by C-arm fluoroscopy can be an accurate and safe method for the unexperienced surgeon, especially the patient with deep-seated prominent mandibular angle.
