Abstract:
Scars and flaps represent a disruption of the normal skin contour, shape, and texture. Successful reconstruction of facial defects with local flaps requires prior planning to choose the correct reconstructive method. However, thorough preoperative planning should include consideration of adjunctive procedures to improve expected postoperative results as well as potential procedures to improve less-than-ideal results. Approaching facial reconstruction holistically allows the surgeon to soberly assess his/her reconstructive results and attain outstanding appearance.
