This article presents a surgical technique for creation of a chin cleft in conjuction with advancement genioplasty. The technique is simple. However, the cleft should be made deeper than seems aesthetically desirable at the time of surgery because healing and muscle function will decrease the final depth of the depression. The depth that can be anticipated can be determined by the degree of tension of the subcutaneous sutures. Minor recontouring of bone may be necessary when there is a prominent bony apex to the symphysis. The actual chin cleft is a soft tissue phenomenon, rather than a bone cleavage point. It is not suggested that this procedure be offered to every patient, but familiarity with the technique is needed should there be a request to perform such surgery.
本文介绍了一种结合颏前移术制造颏裂的手术技术。该技术操作简单。然而，在手术时所制造的裂隙应比美观上期望的更深，因为愈合和肌肉功能会使凹陷的最终深度减小。可预期的深度可通过皮下缝线的张力程度来确定。当颏联合处有明显的骨尖时，可能需要对骨进行轻微的重塑。实际的颏裂是一种软组织现象，而非骨劈开点。不建议对每位患者都采用此手术，但如果有进行此类手术的需求，术者应熟悉该技术。
