    Summary

    The pre-auricular region offers a valuable donor site for full-thickness skin grafts. This technique provides excellent color and texture matches for facial reconstruction, particularly in the medial canthal-nose and eyelid-cheek areas.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Dermatology
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Facial reconstruction often requires skin grafts.
    • Finding suitable donor sites with good aesthetic outcomes is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the utility of the pre-auricular region as a donor site for full-thickness skin grafts.
    • To evaluate the aesthetic match of skin from this region for specific facial areas.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized the pre-auricular region as a donor site.
    • Harvested full-thickness skin grafts.
    • Applied grafts to medial canthal-nose and eyelid-cheek areas.

    Main Results:

    • The pre-auricular region yielded satisfactory skin for grafting.
    • Grafts demonstrated a good color match.
    • Grafts exhibited a favorable texture match with recipient sites.

    Conclusions:

    • The pre-auricular area is a valuable donor site for facial reconstruction.
    • This method provides excellent aesthetic results for medial canthal-nose and eyelid-cheek defects.
