In operative dissections of mandibular branches of the facial nerve, we identified certain branches below the inferior border of the mandible in all cases. These usually supplied the depressor labii inferioris and mentalis muscles, though infrequently the branch to the depressor anguli oris was also below the mandible. At least 3 nerve branches were identified in all dissections. The clinical applications of this include the necessity to identify and protect these nerve branches during operations in the submandibular triangle, as well as when incising the platysma muscle or removing fat from over the body of the mandible in a face-lift procedure.
在面神经下颌支的手术解剖中，我们在所有病例中均在下颌骨下缘下方识别出某些分支。这些分支通常支配降下唇肌和颏肌，不过支配降口角肌的分支偶尔也在下颌骨下方。在所有解剖中均至少识别出3条神经分支。其临床应用包括在颌下三角手术期间以及在面部提升手术中切开颈阔肌或去除下颌体上方脂肪时识别并保护这些神经分支的必要性。
