ABSTRACT

The position and shape of the chin are important in the harmony and in the beauty of the face. The chin interferes also with the position and function of the lips. In this area several muscles are inserted and they play a key role in the mouth occlusion and in the aesthetical aspect of the chin.
Through the years, different procedures have been used with the aim to increase bony projection of the chin. The most popular one is done using allografts. But these grafts must resist the strong force of the muscles, as from these conflicts, adverse effects and complications of different degrees can occur. To attenuate these undesirable effects, we have use with success the pre-operative Type A botulinic toxin (Botox, of Allergan, and Dysport, of Ipsen Inamed).
