The glabellar flap effectively reconstructs medial canthal defects. Careful surgical planning and design variations ensure excellent cosmetic outcomes for this challenging anatomical region.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Ophthalmology

Background:

  • Reconstruction of medial canthal defects is crucial for both functional and aesthetic restoration.
  • The glabellar flap is a recognized technique, but its application in the medial canthal region presents unique challenges due to anatomical contours.
  • Existing literature offers limited detailed guidance on the surgical planning and execution of glabellar flaps for this specific area.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a detailed, step-by-step description of the glabellar flap's construction for medial canthal reconstruction.
  • To outline the indications, necessary precautions, and potential design variations for optimizing surgical outcomes.
  • To emphasize the importance of meticulous surgical planning in achieving superior cosmetic results.

Main Methods:
