Methods Curved osteotomy was employed for prominent mandibular angle through intra and extra oral approach with a small incision in 20 cases.Partial masseter resection was performed simutaneously in 5 cases with masseter hypertrophy, buccal fat pads were resected in 3 cases with broad faces, and genioplasty were performed in 3 cases with micrognathia. Nine cases only suffering from prominent mandibular angle were underwent curved osteotomy reconstruction. Results A series of 20 cases was followed up from six months to six years, in which 95 % was satisfactory.Conclusion The advantages of this method are simple, safe and symmetric with better result. It is easy to dissect under periosteum and perform curved osteotomy with less complication, quick recovery, and better contouring.
