| The primary outcome of this study will be changes in clinical parameters related to facial volume. This outcome will be assessed through the linear measurement of points on the face of the volunteers. This outcome will be assessed through the linear measurement of points on the face of the volunteers, lines will be used between certain facial points, on the operated side. Such distances will be measured in millimeters from the mandibular angle (AM) to: tragus (distance AM-Tr); external corner of the eye (distance AM-CEO); wing of the nose (distance AM-AN); labial commissure (distance AM-CL); soft pogonion (distance AM-PM). The differences obtained between the preoperative values and those obtained in the postoperative evaluations (7 days, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months) will be compared. | — |

| Evaluation of postoperative pain and trismus and facial volume. Patients will be evaluated daily for the perception of postoperative pain using a 10-point analog visual scale and consumption of rescue medication in the first seven days after the surgical procedure. Pain assessment will be performed considering the right and left sides. The evaluation of the mouth opening limitation (trismus) will be measured by means of the maximum mouth opening capacity in periods determined below. For this, a digital caliper interposed between the incisal edges of the upper and lower central incisors will be used. The differences obtained between the preoperative values and those obtained in the postoperative evaluations (7 days, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months) will be compared.;To assess quality of life, each patient will receive a questionnaire called the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14), which basically focuses on negative effects of oral health on quality of life. The OHIP-14 questionnaire consists of 14 questions distributed in seven Domains. Two questions will be applied to each of the seven domains (functional limitation, physical pain, psychological discomfort, physical handicap, psychological handicap, social handicap and social handicap). The questions refer to how many times individuals have experienced difficulty in chewing, difficulty in pronouncing words, discomfort in eating, concern about dental problems, less flavor in food, interrupting meals, feeling upset or ashamed, avoiding going out or facing problems and being unable to work because of dental problems. Measured on a 5-point Likert scale, OHIP-14 calculates the prevalence, extent and severity of quality of life scores according to Shugars et al. (2006): the percentage of volunteers who report one or more items “reasonably” or “very often” will represent a measure of prevalence. An item reported "quite often" or "very often" will be considered clinically important and detrimental to quality of life. In a | — |
