Abstract:
Mandibular angle plasty aims to improve the lower facial contour through procedures such as masseter muscle resection, ostectomy in the mandibular angle area, and external cortex bone grinding. This surgery primarily addresses hypertrophic masseter muscle correction and hypertrophic mandibular angle bone correction. The procedure has evolved from modifications of mandibular angle osteotomy to advancements in digital surgical design, gradually integrating with zygomatic arch plasty and genioplasty to achieve more harmonious facial proportions. This paper systematically elaborated on the surgical design and clinical application of mandibular angle plasty, discussed its indications, summarized developmental trends, and proposed prospects for future advancements.
