A formed skin defect of a chin is repaired with a counterlateral pedicle cellulocutaneous flap of the width 2.5-3 cm of a mental-submaxillary area which is anchored by a mucous membrane of a vestibule of mouth. Skin is separated along a lower edge of the incision of the cellulocutaneous flap. The defect is coated by pulling separated skin up to the lower edge of the cellulocutaneous flap. An internal lining is formed of a buccal mucosa. Skin is sutured and dressed.
