[Genioplasty in adolescence].

Abstract

Different possible types of genioplasty in adolescence are envisaged: pure subtraction, conjugated subtraction, apposition, addition and in particular transfer for correction of the facial asymmetry of temporomandibular ankylosis sequelae. It is difficult to predict results and it is necessary to remain within a known framework in which esthetic and psychologic demands must occupy a very important place.
