A 42-year-old woman who had a 12-year history of rhinoplasty before visiting us that her surgeon did an extraoral genioplasty by grafting excess cartilage of her nose to chin for esthetic reasons. The patient had a deformity that resulting soft tissue ptosis in the chin. To correct this, we removed grafted cartilages from the chin then performed a routine advancement genioplasty.
