A 32-year-old male reported to our hospital with a complaint of square face. He was very unhappy with his facial appearance and requested for immediate correction of the same.
Maxillofacial surgeon Dr. S.M.Balaji diagnosed it as bilateral masseter muscle hypertrophy. The Masseter muscle was partially excised bilaterally. The angle of the mandible on either side was also burred down. The lower jaw appeared more proportionate. He was pleased with the overall results and there was no scar formation as the entire procedure was done intra-orally.
