Double-sliding genioplasty for correction of severe micrognathia.

Abstract
Profile correction of cosmetically deforming micrognathia in patients with functional occlusion may be attained by the foreshifting of multple horizontal oblique osteotomy segments of the anterior mandible. We discuss the development, limitations, advantages, preoperative evaluation, and surgical technique of this method.
