title: [Removal of the sagging of the tissues in the submental area].
abstract: Twenty out of 100 patients operated on to remove skin excess on the face and neck had slackening tissue under the chin. Based on published data and their findings, the authors developed operations to remove slackening tissue under the chin and carried out such operations in 64 patients. Isolated lipectomy failed to bring about good results in cases when there were indications for removal of skin excess on the face neck (10 patients). Simultaneous removal of skin excess on the face and lipectomy helped attain good results in 50 patients. The operation is possible in patients with a low position of the sublingual bone, although the results are not so good. Lipectomy in the area under the chin is recommended as a method supplementing operation for removal of skin excess on the face and neck.
