The horizontal line serves a reference to the horizon and is marked as the lowest part of the buttock exposed when a patient sits on a chair. The verical black lines mark the line of skin contact of both buttock cheeks. This photo shows a pilonidal sufferer standing. This photo demonstrates the natal cleft and how it is hidden from view when one is standing. So the left side of the photo represents the left side of the patient. Please note, that except where indicated, patients are photographed lying on their stomachs with their buttocks in view. The following are a series before and after photos of patients who underwent The Cleft Lift procedure at The Sternberg Clinic of Pilonidal Surgery. If you do not wish to view surgical photos of patients please go to another screen. Please be aware that the following before and after photos of patients may be considered graphic by some.
