Local and regional skin flaps are essential for facial reconstruction, offering excellent matches and reliable blood supply. This review covers common techniques and successful case applications for restoring facial form and function.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Local and regional skin flaps are fundamental in facial reconstructive surgery.
  • They offer rapid reconstruction with ideal donor tissue characteristics, including color and texture match.
  • A reliable and adequate blood supply is a key advantage of these flaps.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review common techniques for facial reconstruction using local and regional skin flaps.
  • To present successful case studies demonstrating the application of these reconstructive methods.

Main Methods:

  • Review of established surgical techniques for local and regional skin flap utilization in facial reconstruction.
  • Presentation of clinical case examples illustrating successful outcomes.

Main Results:
