Q: Dr. Eppley, What is the intraoral approach for reduction of the soft tissue chin pad effective?
A:The management of the excessive soft tissue chin pad with any form of chin reduction has always been an important consideration…which is not really a new concept. But I think for those surgeons who are focused only on an intraoral approach that is always going to pose a problem. But when the submental approach to horizontal bony chin reduction is done the excessive chin pad is removed as part of the procedure. I have done that approach for decades so I would not call it a new or revolutionary approach. It has always been the anatomically correct approach to many chin reduction patients
