A new technique for soft-tissue correction of the retraced submental fold in the Witch's Chin deformity is described. An illustrative case report demonstrating our technique, results, and the pathogenesis of this condition is presented. An anatomical analysis of the underlying etiology of the condition and tailored treatment strategies are outlined.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores how the aging of a beautiful woman is depicted in Japanese literature, specifically through the works of Ono no Komachi and visual imagery.
- Komachi's poem reflects on the loss of beauty, likening it to fading flowers, while Tamatsukuri Komachiko's Death Book starkly describes her deteriorating physical appearance, expressing themes of aging and decline.
- The narrative suggests that the portrayal of an aging woman serves as a reminder to both men and women about the transient nature of beauty and that its importance may ultimately be overstated.

Osseous Genioplasty: Prevention of Witch's Chin Deformity with No-Degloving Technique.

Background: Osseous genioplasty is a powerful procedure that can correct chin dysmorphology; however, traditional techniques may result in chin ptosis or a "witch's chin" deformity. Iatrogenic chin ptosis is thought to be caused by excessive degloving of soft tissue with a failure to reattach the mentalis muscle. In the authors' study, they compared the "no-degloving" technique (using a 90-degree plate with lag-screw fixation) to the "traditional" technique, for minimization of chin ptosis.

Success or failure in treating the neck lies in the diagnosis of underlying problems and the application of a logical surgical plan. Although it is a commonly advocated practice, it is not enough to perform submental liposuction and tighten the skin in most patients, as such an approach ignores a number of anatomic problems present in many patients seeking neck improvement. Removing subcutaneous fat and tightening skin over these problems does not correct them, and the presence or absence of each must be looked for to create and apply an appropriate surgical plan.

Chin ptosis is described as a descent of the soft tissue from the symphyseal region to a position under the lower contour of the mandible. Given its multifactorial causes, treatment must be determined on a patient-by-patient basis. While augmentation of the submental crease is a versatile option for the correction of chin ptosis, this only corrects the soft tissue component.
