Various aspects of augmentation mentoplasty are considered: esthetic considerations and philosophy, psychological considerations, common presenting deformities, and useful grafts and implants. Dr. Tresley's techniques and main complications encountered as well as examples of his results are presented. (This is a review of the philosophy, esthetic judgments, and basic techniques of the late Ira J. Tresley. This manuscript was in preparation by the authors just prior to Dr. Tresley's untimely death and is presented as his last academic work.) (Ed.)
