ABSTRACT
Obtaining superior aesthetic results in the cervical-mental region requires accurately diagnosing the underlying anatomic abnormality. We have designed a comprehensive classification scheme based on diagnostic and surgical methods from a facial plastic surgical practice with 30 years of experience. Patients can be classified into the suggested system to determine the optimal rejuvenation technique.
