    For facial defects unreconstructable by primary or secondary healing, adjacent tissue transfer is preferred over skin grafting for better cosmetic results. This paper details local flaps for facial defect reconstruction.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery
    • Facial Anatomy

    Background:

    • Surgical excision of facial lesions can result in defects unsuitable for primary or secondary healing.
    • Standard reconstructive options include skin grafting and adjacent tissue transfer.
    • Adjacent tissue transfer offers superior aesthetic outcomes in facial reconstruction due to better color and texture matching.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present and discuss local flap techniques for reconstructing surgical defects in the facial area.
    • To highlight the advantages of adjacent tissue transfer over skin grafting for facial reconstruction.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of established local flap techniques applicable to facial reconstruction.
    • Discussion of the principles and indications for each flap type.

  • Illustrative examples of flap application in facial defect closure.

    • Main Results:

    • Local flaps provide a versatile and effective method for facial defect reconstruction.
    • Adjacent tissue transfer, utilizing local flaps, yields superior aesthetic results compared to skin grafting.
    • Specific local flaps are suitable for various facial defect locations and sizes.

    Conclusions:

    • Local flaps are the preferred method for reconstructing facial defects when primary or secondary closure is not feasible.
    • The selection of an appropriate local flap ensures optimal functional and aesthetic restoration.
    • This paper serves as a guide to available local flaps for facial reconstructive surgeons.
