Repairing cheek defects requires careful assessment of defect size, depth, and location to preserve adjacent facial structures like the mouth and nose. This review covers cheek anatomy and surgical techniques for successful aesthetic and functional reconstruction.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic surgery
  • Facial anatomy
  • Reconstructive surgery

Background:

  • The cheek is a critical facial aesthetic unit, adjacent to the mouth, nose, and eyelids.
  • Cutaneous cheek defect repair necessitates preserving the function of these neighboring structures.
  • Accurate assessment of defect characteristics and surrounding landmarks is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review cheek anatomy and surface landmarks.
  • To discuss various surgical options for cheek defect repair.
  • To achieve successful aesthetic and functional outcomes in cheek reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • Review of anatomical literature.
  • Analysis of surface landmarks relevant to cheek reconstruction.
  • Synthesis of surgical techniques for cutaneous defect repair.
