What's the Cervicomental Angle?

Can the Cervicomental Angle decrease with a chin implant?
Yes.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
A retrospective study was performed of 76 patients who underwent a chin implant from 1999 to 2007. Of these, 17 patients did not have a face-lifting or submental liposuction procedure and met the inclusionary requirements for photographic analysis.
Preoperative and postoperative profile views were evaluated by identifying the glabella, pogonion, menton, gonion-gnathion, and cervical point (Fig. 1). The anthropometric tangents of pogonion to gonion-gnathion and cervical point through the menton were then drawn. The cervicomental angle was then measured by forming a line tangent to the submentum (from the menton to the subcervicale) and a line tangent to the neck intersecting at the subcervicale.
Comparison of postoperative photographs revealed that the insertion of a chin implant caused the cervicomental angle to decrease 2 to 12 degrees (mean, 5.35 ± 3.88 degrees). Preoperative cervicomental angles measured 121 to 142 degrees (mean,133 ± 7.61 degrees). Postoperative angles ranged from 113 to 143 degrees (mean, 128.06 ± 8.47 degrees). These numbers indicate a significant decrease in the cervicomental angle after chin implantation (Table 1).
The Cervicomental Angle
The cervicomental angle (or submental-cervical angle) is the angle formed by 2 lines from the chin and sternal notch that meet at the hyoid bone. Ideally the cervicomental angle should be between 90 and 120 degrees, anything higher than that is considered blunted and obtuse. The lower the...
