The Advancement-Rotation Principle in Chin Augmentation: A Preliminary Case Series.
Article in Aesthetic surgery journal. Open forum, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Injectable aesthetic treatments continue to grow in popularity globally. Hyaluronic acid-based filler remains the mainstay, used to augment or restore dimensions. Treatments to advance the chin must account for additional factors that are unique to this region, including the mandibular growth pattern, dental occlusion, and soft tissues in the form of the mentalis muscle. Objectives: This preliminary report synthesizes literature from across surgery, dentistry, and aesthetic medicine to propose an integrated method for chin assessment and treatment using injectables. Methods: We present a preliminary 3 patient case series drawing on surgical and nonsurgical cases. The presented integrated algorithm for chin assessment is applicable to medical aesthetics with the use of a smartphone camera. Results: Two nonsurgical patients each demonstrate retrognathia with contrasting mandibular growth patterns; one clockwise and one counter-clockwise. One surgical patient supports the presented methodology, where severe clockwise rotation of the mandible resulting from progressive condylar resorption was treated with 2-stage surgery. Conclusions: Effective lower face treatment requires integration of concepts from across surgery, dentistry, and aesthetic medicine. Facial growth patterns can be assessed clinically, enabling practitioners to plan and execute treatments in a way that promotes facial profile harmony and moderates an individual's aging trajectory. This preliminary series highlights how the growth rotation pattern and sagittal dimensions predictably impact lower facial features, offering novel treatment strategies. This article is the first to integrate concepts from Craniomaxillofacial surgery, Orthodontics, and Aesthetic Medicine into a chin treatment algorithm that can be easily implemented in medical aesthetics practice.
