Extended dissection of the mental area in face-lift operations

: Extended dissection of the mental area has been used successfully in the last 15 years, in the routine rhytidectomy, to solve the problem of the senile mental, also called the "witch's chin." After the face and neck dissection, the chin skin is completely dissected at the same anatomical level of the face and finally molded with micropore into its new position. Ancillary procedures on the neck, face, and chin can be combined and performed in the same stage. The technique and combined procedures in the last 500 patients, from a total of 4,856 patients with rhytidectomy, are evaluated and analyzed.
