The aim of this study was to determine, through cephalometric analysis, the anterior height of the mandible after vestibuloplasty through the lipswitch technique. Thirteen patients (8 women and 5 men) with ages between 32 and 77 years (mean age of 54.3 years) were evaluated. The postoperative periods were 30, 90 and 180 days. During this time there was a reduction of 0.6 mm in the anterior height of the mandible, which was not significant.
