Abstract
BACKGROUND Facial balance significantly impacts aesthetics, particularly in the middle and lower thirds. Patients with chin retrusion often benefit from sagittal plane chin advancement in rhinoplasty, enhancing surgical outcomes and satisfaction. OBJECTIVES This article presents a method for analyzing chin deformities and discusses a hybrid treatment approach to harmonize facial features, complementing rhinoplasty. METHODS The chin positions of patients treated by the senior author were assessed. A retrospective analysis included 49 patients with chin retrusion of 2.5-6 mm. Among them, 22 patients initially offered chin implants declined, leading to planned chin augmentation. Fat grafting was exclusively performed for 20 patients lacking sufficient cartilage. The "Hybrid Chin Advancement" technique involved supporting tissues beneath muscles with nasal septum cartilage and fat injections and tissues above muscles with fat injection alone. RESULTS Pre- and postoperative Legan angle measurements and chin advancements were compared across three groups. While preoperative Legan angles were statistically similar, postoperative Legan angles and advancement changes were significantly higher in the implant group (p < 0.0001). Comparing hybrid chin advancement and fat grafting groups, postoperative Legan angles and advancement changes were significantly higher in the hybrid chin group (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Fat grafting suffices for mild advancements (~ 2 mm), while the hybrid chin method is effective for moderate advancements (~ 4 mm). For advancements exceeding 6 mm, implants or osseous genioplasty are optimal. Our study's hybrid approach offers an easy, safe, and reliable method for achieving facial harmony in the lower two-thirds without compromising patient expectations.

Abstract
AIM The study was conducted to evaluate soft tissue profile changes using autogenous fat augmentation or onlay PEEK versus sliding genioplasty for correction of deficient chin in patients with retruded chin. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty-three patients with deficient chins were included in the study. The patients were distributed into 3 groups: the fat augmentation group as intervention I, the PEEK augmentation group as intervention II, and the osseous genioplasty group as control group. Preoperative and postoperative CBCT were performed for all patients. With the aid of MIMICS,3-MATIC, and PROPLAN software, diagnosis, virtual planning, and evaluation were performed. The Face-Q questionnaire was used to assess patient satisfaction. RESULTS There was a statistically significant difference regarding soft tissue relapse in the fat group after 6 months when compared to the control group (mean difference= 0.770), while there was no statistically significant difference regarding soft tissue relapse between PEEK and control group (mean difference= -0.060). Intragroup comparison has shown no statistically significant difference regarding soft tissue relapse within all groups between follow-up periods (P = 0.1389 for the fat group, P = 0.8739 for the peek group, and P = 0.8410 for the control group). All patients showed a statistically significant increase in scores of satisfaction with the chin between follow-up periods (P = 0.0165, P = 0.0150, and P = 0.0293) respectively. CONCLUSIONS Fat augmentation can be a good intervention choice in mild-moderate deficient cases. PEEK PSI has a stable surgical outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fat injection has become increasingly popular in aesthetic surgery, but there is a sparsity of literature regarding its role during genioplasty. In this study, we present the largest series of patients receiving fat injections to the chin for various indications. METHODS Data were collected from January 2016 to December 2021 for patients who underwent chin fat injection for a variety of chin refinements. Patients with chin fat injection were divided into isolated genioplasty with fat injection (CF), combined facial and chin fat injection (CFC) and combined chin fat injection and osseous genioplasty (CFG). Complication rates and reoperations were compared using Fischer's exact test between each cohort. RESULTS 181 patients were included in final analysis, with 14 patients in CF cohort, 130 patients in CFC cohort, 24 patients in CFG cohort, and 13 patients who underwent genioplasty alone. Repeat fat injections were required in 17 (9.4%) patients overall, which included 14 patients (10.8%) of CFC subcohort and three patients (12.5%) of CFG subcohort (p > 0.05). No patients who underwent genioplasty alone or CF required reoperation. There were no significant differences in complications between genioplasty alone group (0%) in comparison to CF (7.1%; p = 1.00), CFC (6.2%; p = .53), or CFG cohorts (7.7%; p = 1.00). CONCLUSION Fat injection can safely correct minor chin deficiency or asymmetry, as either an isolated procedure or in combination with osteotomies. Additionally, fat injection enables advancement of the caudal segment to achieve superior outcomes by preventing unaesthetic deepening of labiomental groove which will not be advanced during sliding osteotomy.

Abstract
To report the infected silicone chin implant due to the non-ideal placement of dental implants, in female patient, 67 years old. A patient unsatisfied with her facial profile had installed a silicone chin implant 25 years ago. Recently underwent surgery for the placement of dental implants in a region close to the silicone implant. The non-ideal positioning of the dental implants and close contact with the silicone implant led to the absence of osseointegration, with consequent mobility and infection of both. The silicone implant was removed with dental implant that shows mobility. In the imaging exams could be noted others complications of silicone implant like bone resorption and the formation of a narrow bone layer around the inferior border of implant. Alloplastic implants are an option for the esthetic correction of chin deformities. Solid silicone is biocompatible and highly resistant to degradation, with a minimal allergic reaction and risk of toxicity. However, a number of postoperative complications may arise, such as migration or displacement, extrusion, foreign body reaction, bone resorption, heterotopic bone formation and infection. The precise imaging exams are critical to arrive at a diagnosis and the best treatment plan.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Facial hair transplantation has become an increasingly popular modality to create a more masculine appearance for transmasculine patients. OBJECTIVES This aim of this study was to review the current literature regarding facial hair transplantation and provide recommendations and best practices for transgender patients. METHODS A comprehensive literature search of the PubMed, MEDLINE, and Embase databases was conducted for studies published through April 2020 for publications discussing facial hair transplant in transmasculine patients, in addition to the nontransgender population. Data extracted include patient demographics, techniques, outcomes, complications, and patient satisfaction. RESULTS We identified 2 articles discussing facial hair transplantation in transmasculine patients. Due to the paucity of publications describing facial hair transplantation in transmasculine patients, data regarding facial hair transplant from the cisgender population were utilized to augment our review and recommendations. CONCLUSIONS Facial hair transplant is a safe and effective means of promoting a masculine appearance for transgender patients. Nevertheless, facial hair transplantation should be deferred until at least 1 year after the initiation of testosterone therapy to allow surgeons to more accurately identify regions that would benefit the most from transplantation. Additionally, providers should engage patients in discussions about any plans to undergo facial masculinization surgery because this can alter the position of transplanted hairs. Currently, follicular unit extraction from the occipital scalp is the preferred technique, with use of the temporal scalp if additional grafts are needed. Patients should be advised that a secondary grafting procedure may be needed a year after initial transplant to achieve desired density. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4

Abstract
GOALS/PURPOSE Rhinoplasty is the most common procedure seen in the teenage population. Many of these patients have facial imbalance both recognized and unrecognized by the individual and family. Most often it involves chin or midface deficiency. When the discussion involves the possibility of additional surgery, such as an alloplastic chin implant or a surgical osteotomy, the conversation halts because the patient and family seek a simpler solution.Autologous fat transfer is a useful adjunct to achieve facial balance in chin and cheek in the teen population. More recently, we have been using this technique to correct facial disharmony in rhinoplasty patients. METHODS/TECHNIQUE Fat grafting was performed at the time of rhinoplasty in 22 patients (age, 15-19 years). Presurgical planning involved cephalometric and computer-enhanced photographic analysis of the face. Midface retrusion and underprojected mentum were treated. Deficient sites were treated with small aliquots of fat, which were injected into the supraperiosteal plane. The average amounts of fat grafting injected per region were 2 to 3 mL for the malar region and 8 to 10 mL for the chin and geniomandibular borders. RESULTS/COMPLICATIONS Twenty-two patients underwent augmentation of soft tissue and skeletal deficiencies. Analysis of postoperative results showed excellent outcomes with enhancement of facial profile and proportions. The mean follow-up was 3 years. The majority of patients reported high degree of satisfaction. No complications were observed. CONCLUSIONS The combination of rhinoplasty and autologous fat grafting offers very satisfactory esthetic outcomes and improvement of facial balance with minimal added time, cost, and risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Facial proportions can be improved by means of chin augmentation in patients with a receding chin. The ascending mental artery is the main arterial supply to the top of the chin, and arterial occlusion of this artery can result in soft-tissue infarction. This study aims to measure the topographic anatomy of the ascending mental artery at the chin injection area, using a three-dimensional camera. METHODS Thirty-one embalmed cadaveric faces were dissected at the chin. The midline of the inferior margin of the mandibular protuberance was marked with a pin. A variation in size between the two opposite ascending mental arteries was noticed. The depth of the artery from the skin surface and distance from the midline were measured using a three-dimensional camera. RESULTS There were 19 dominant ascending mental arteries on the right and 12 on the left. The dominant ascending mental arteries enter the chin paracentrally, approximately 6 mm (mean ± SD, 5.64 ± 4.34 mm) from the midline, within the muscular plane, and at a depth of 4.15 ± 1.95 mm from the skin. Furthermore, the artery formed an anastomosis with the sublingual artery, within the floor of the mouth. CONCLUSION Every aesthetic physician should recognize the course of the ascending mental artery and use the appropriate techniques to avoid vascular injury during chin augmentation using filler injections.

Abstract
Face-lift techniques have evolved beyond the concept of lifting and now include incorporating superficial and deep filling of facial fat compartments to address volume deflation and aging. In addition to traditional face-lift methods involving the excision and tightening of skin and the underlying soft tissues, the following ancillary procedures have become paramount in achieving an optimal result: blending the lid-cheek junction; chin augmentation; lobule augmentation; hand rejuvenation; perioral rejuvenation; chemical peels; and laser resurfacing. We presented a summary of these integral techniques.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transgender patients may seek nonsurgical methods for facial masculinization and feminization as an adjunct or alternative to undergoing surgical procedures. OBJECTIVES The authors reviewed the existing literature regarding this topic and provided an overview of nonsurgical techniques for facial masculinization and feminization. METHODS A comprehensive literature search of the PubMed and MedLine databases was conducted for studies published through December 2017 for techniques and outcomes of nonsurgical facial masculinization and feminization. Keywords were used in performing the search. Data on techniques, outcomes, complications, and patient satisfaction were collected. RESULTS Four articles fit our inclusion criteria. Given the lack of published literature describing facial injectables in transgender patients, data from the literature describing techniques in cisgender patients were utilized to supplement our review. CONCLUSIONS Facial feminization can be achieved through injectables such as neurotoxin and fillers for lateral brow elevation, lip augmentation, malar augmentation, and improvement of rhytids. Facial masculinization can be achieved with injectables used for genioplasty, jawline augmentation, and supraorbital ridge augmentation. One must develop best practices for these techniques in the transgender patient population and increase awareness regarding nonsurgical options. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of fat grafting to the facial region for the reconstruction and aesthetic enhancement of facial contour. METHODS A systematic literature review of the National Library of Medicine (PubMed), MEDLINE and Cochrane databases was performed. Studies involving the outcomes of autologous fat grafting to correct or enhance contour defects of the face were included. Extracted data included patient demographics, harvest and injection sites, graft harvesting and injection technique, mean injected volume, retained volume percentage and complications. RESULTS Forty-three articles met the inclusion criteria, resulting in 4577 patients with various facial contour defects treated with autologous fat grafting. Injection sites were categorized by anatomic facial regions as upper (32.5%), middle (53%) and lower face (14.5%). The mean volume of injected fat was 16.9 ml. The mean weighted volume retention of non-enriched grafts was 41.63% at the time of follow up (mean 13.9 months). A total of 104 (2.27%) complications were reported including asymmetry (74), skin irregularities (14), prolonged edema (4), graft hypertrophy (4), fat necrosis (3), infection (2), erythema (1), telangiectasia (1), and activation of acne (1). CONCLUSION The present study represents the first systematic review of fat grafting in the facial region, a widely-performed procedure within plastic surgery practice. Importantly, it presents pooled important data such as retained grafting volume and complication rates in this anatomical region, providing clinicians with more accurate information with which to guide their decision-making and patient education.

Abstract
The chin makes up the central unit of the face and neck, and is a significant factor in facial harmony and aesthetics. Historically, correction of microgenia required surgical intervention with a sliding genioplasty, or placement of a permanent implant. However, these techniques require more extensive surgical intervention, prolonged downtime, with higher costs and complications. Furthermore, chin rhytides and descent of chin fat lead to an aged appearance of the chin and lower face that is difficult to correct with a chin implant alone. Autologous fat grafting in facial rejuvenation has expanded in its application and can serve as an effective technique to correct and enhance chin aesthetics, including lateral chin hollowing, asymmetry, mild microgenia, and correction of deep labiomental sulcus or a bifid chin. This article and accompanying video demonstrate the authors' technique for chin augmentation and refinement with autologous fat.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The chin is a critical component to the perception of facial attractiveness. Dermal fillers offer a nonsurgical, temporary method of correcting mild to moderate chin retrusion and resorption. Thus far, discussion of this procedure has been largely limited to the plastic surgery and otolaryngology literature. OBJECTIVE To review pertinent aspects of anatomy, patient evaluation, injection technique, concomitant therapies, and complications in chin augmentation using injectable fillers. METHODS A brief review of the literature surrounding chin augmentation using injectable fillers, as well as the authors' experience in this area, is provided. RESULTS Chin augmentation using injectable fillers can be performed effectively and safely with adequate background knowledge of the regional anatomy and appropriate patient selection. The authors discuss both injection techniques in the published literature and their own approach. Potential complications and concomitant therapies are also reviewed. CONCLUSION As chin augmentation is increasingly recognized as an essential component to complete facial aesthetic rejuvenation, dermatologic surgeons should be familiar with how to safely and effectively perform augmentation with injectable fillers to achieve an optimal cosmetic outcome.
