Aesthetic facial profile is mainly determined by cultural background. In some countries, prominent mandibular angle is considered as characteristics, whereas it is considered as unattractive in East Asian countries. Therefore, reduction surgery for prominent mandibular angle is one of the popular cosmetic surgery in theses countries. The anatomical component of the mandibular angle consists of masseter muscle and the angular part of the mandibular ramus. Thus, the mandibular angle reduction can be performed by myotomy or bone reduction or both.
