Different types of genioplasty were performed for 7 patients: 2 patients underwent sliding reduction, 3 patients - clockwise downgrafting and 2 patients - clockwise downgrafting with wedge resection and contourplasty. Aesthetic ranking scale was used to assess the aesthetics of facial profile by lay persons. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS.

Patients ranked best aesthetic scores after maxillo-mandibular clockwise advancement and downgrafting, especially in cases when clockwise downgrafting genioplasty with wedge resection and contourplasty was performed.
