Esteemed panelists Dr. Jacques Saboy, Dr. Usha Rajagopal, and Dr. Bhaman Guyuron shared their expertise in the field. Dr. Saboy focused on a unique bone surgery for chin correction called the "chin wing" osteotomy, which enhances both aesthetics and function by advancing the chin and improving lip competency. He detailed the meticulous surgical steps and the use of bone grafts for optimal results, highlighting the absence of visible scarring and enhanced aesthetics.<br /><br />Dr. Rajagopal discussed the use of dermal fillers for chin and jawline enhancements, emphasizing safety protocols and techniques to mitigate risks like vascular occlusion. She shared patient images and videos, illustrating the transformative potential of fillers in achieving facial symmetry and enhancement. Her technique involves blending various filler types for less injection pressure and better results, underscoring the importance of understanding facial anatomy for safe, effective injections.<br /><br />Dr. Guyuron highlighted a variety of chin surgery techniques tailored to individual facial structures, using the Riedel line for optimal aesthetic results. His approach combines surgical precision with fat grafting to refine chin contours and address both horizontal and vertical deficiencies, offering a comprehensive perspective on achieving facial harmony.<br /><br />The panelists shared their methodologies, safety measures, and detailed outcomes, offering attendees insights into both surgical and non-surgical chin correction techniques. The webinar, accessible on ASPS EdNet, was a platform for exchanging advanced techniques and encouraging continued professional development.
