RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Gummy smile and labial incompetence are frequent for consultation in plastic surgery. We wanted to show that rhinoplasty and genioplasty should correct these anomalies. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Profiloplasty was performed on 20 patients. Aesthetic and functional items were evaluated. RESULTS: There is a correlation between aesthetic and functional results. Results seem to be better for patients having an important labial incompetence without gummy smile. CONCLUSION: Those results are based on anatomical and surgical considerations. Some non surgical procedures do exist to treat this problem. It should be a challenge to find the place for each procedure.
