Zusammenfassung:Despite personal preferences and training background that may influence the choice of which genioplasty technique to use, the osteoplastic technique has a better patient satisfaction rate (albeit slight), better soft tissue predictability, and less detrimental postoperative complications when compared with alloplastic augmentation of the chin.
