Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Facial Aesthetics

Background:

  • Conventional cervicofacial flap surgery can negatively impact sideburn aesthetics.
  • A modified technique aims to preserve sideburn shape and arrangement while minimizing complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a novel cervicofacial flap method designed to preserve sideburns.
  • To compare aesthetic outcomes and complication rates with the conventional technique.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective study compared a modified flap incision (group B) with the conventional method (group A).
  • Evaluation included changes in sideburn arrangement, patient satisfaction, and complication rates.

Main Results:

  • 23 of 31 patients (group A) experienced undesirable sideburn arrangement changes and dissatisfaction.
  • Patients in group B (modified method) showed no sideburn changes and high satisfaction.
  • The modified technique achieved successful defect reconstruction with preserved sideburns.

Conclusions:

  • The novel cervicofacial flap technique effectively preserves sideburn appearance.
  • High patient satisfaction was achieved with the modified method.
  • This technique offers comparable complication rates to the conventional method while enhancing aesthetic results.
