Mental nerve (MN) injury is the most common complications of genioplasty; to protect the MN and oral mucosa, the authors invent and validate the appropriate retractors for genioplasty, and which can avoid the skin and mucous membrane of the lower lip, chin, and the vestibular gingiva of the mandibular incisor from paresthesia or dysesthesia. The patent application for the appropriate retractors for genioplasty is already submitted (Patent No 201610164563.3, China). The retractors provide a better surgical visual field and improve the operation efficiency while reducing the risk of surgery. And the method is simple, safe, efficient, and laborsaving.
