AbstractThis article remarks on the possibility of recontouring the face by working on the facial skeleton with the sole purpose of softening the facial appearance. The author describes a one-step surgical procedure performed on a 38-year-old man who had serious social problems because of his aggressive and threatening facial appearance that contrasted with his gentle personality. The author coins the term Minotaur Syndrome to describe the discrepancy between the patient's true personality versus his negative facial appearance.
