Chin surgery showdown: can a Mini-Wing reshape both face and airway?
NCT ID NCT07724743
First seen Jul 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of chin surgery—Box genioplasty and Mini-Wing genioplasty—in adults with a receding lower jaw (skeletal Class II deformity) who are also having jaw realignment surgery. The goal is to see which technique better improves the upper airway size and the soft-tissue profile of the chin and neck. By measuring changes on CT scans taken before and six months after surgery, researchers hope to determine whether one method offers superior functional and cosmetic results.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Mini Wing genioplasty or Box genioplasty (surgical procedures on the chin bone)
- What this could lead to
- If one technique proves superior, it could guide surgeons toward a standard approach that improves both breathing and facial profile for patients with jaw deformities.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small retrospective study, so results may not apply to all patients. Surgery carries risks like infection, nerve damage, and swelling.
