In manyinstances, as in operations upon the forehead, the nose, the lips, the chin orthe neck, a one-sided incision will result in much deformity when an incisionextending over both sides resulting in an equal amount of exposure of under-lying tissues, will cause but a slight amount of deformity. 5.
