Bow-Tie-Shape Osteotomy

If the patient’s chin is not too long and the patient wants shorter but more pointed chin, the purpose can be done through combination of transverse and oblique osteotome line (Fig. 11.5). The design of osteotomy is opposite to that of trapezoidal-shape osteotomy. By minimally removing the bones in the central portion and maximally removing the bones at both ends, a more pointed chin can be achieved although the reduction of length is somewhat limited. However, when using bow-tie-shape osteotomy, there should be enough space for the nerve line as there would be a lot of bony steps at both ends.
