Abstract: Objective To review ten-year experiences in facial bone contouring plasty by our craniofacial team. Methods During ten-year clinical practice, we have performed 750 cases of mandibular contouring surgery, 141 cases of reduction malarplasty with type I or type L osteotomy combined with temple-facial soft tissue lifting, and 117 cases of different type genioplasty. Results All 1 008 individuals underwent surgery of facial bone contouring plasty have got prominent improvement in facial bone contour. As for complications, 3 cases with temporary injury to temporal branch of facial nerve were found in reduction malarplasty, 1 case with massive haemorrhage in mandibular contouring surgery, and 2 cases with infections in mandibular contouring surgery, and 2 cases with mental nerve damages.
