ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of self-disigned long-thick silicone prothesis in the treatment of severe microgenia.Methods A long-thick silicone prothesis was designed according to the measurement results gained by a coordinate caliper.The designed long-thick silicone prothesis was sterilized by uperization.The procedure commenced under local anesthesia for all patients.The prothesis was placed through an intraoral incision.The digital photographs were taken at the pretreatment visits and 3 months and 12 months after treatment follow-up to observe the change of the chin projection.Results 20 cases of severe microgenia were treated with this technique.All wounds healed primarily.There was no infection,extrusion and rejective reaction.The profiles of chins were improved obviously and reached aesthetic standard.Only one implant required adjustment 3 months after first operation because of displacement.After 12 months follow-up the reshaping contour of the chins were satisfied.Locations of silicone prothesis were stable.No differences of the chin projection were observed.All patients were satisfied with their cosmetic results.Conclusions Implanting long-thick silicone prothesis to correct severe microgenia is safe,effective,simply,cheap and less invasive.
