The submental flap is a straightforward surgical technique for facial reconstruction, offering good aesthetic results with minimal donor site complications. It is ideal for defects in the oral cavity and lower face.

Area of Science:

  • Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Head and Neck Reconstruction

Context:

  • Facial defects require reconstructive techniques, with flap selection based on specific criteria.
  • The submental flap, a versatile option, has a history of diverse applications in maxillofacial surgery.

Purpose:

  • To provide maxillofacial surgeons with comprehensive documentation on the submental flap technique.
  • To detail the anatomy, indications, technique, and outcomes of the submental flap.

Summary:

  • The submental flap utilizes the submental artery and vein, supplying chin and submandibular tissues.
  • Indications include defects of the oral cavity and lower two-thirds of the face.
  • The procedure is simple, yields good aesthetic results, avoids dyschromia, and has minor donor site sequelae.
