Summary:We experienced a patient of subcondylar fracture who had a squared contour of the lower face with prominent angle of the mandible and masseter hypertrophy. Our patient was increasingly seeking esthetic improvement of the lower third of the face. But she did not want multi-stage operations.

We have a stable and esthetic result simultaneously despite fractures of the fixation plates during follow-up period, so report a case.
