CHIN SHIELD
"The osteotomy presented achieves this by creating a 'chin shield' where the mandibular segment advanced is relatively high on the side of the buccal cortex and lower on the lingual side and where the osteotomy or down-fracture in between is in an oblique angle in the sagittal plane. "
"The ratio of soft tissue response to bony movement in the sliding genioplasty technique was 1:0.83, whereas in the chin shield genioplasty technique, it was 1:0.99. Conclusions: In the chin shield genioplasty technique, the increase in labiomental fold depth was less than in the sliding genioplasty technique. "
"Chin shield osteotomy technique for genioplasty is a good option for horizontal as well as vertical lengthening of chin and does not cause deepening of the mentolabial fold. "
