Abstract
Flap design in facial reconstruction is particularly delicate given the face is the most visible structure of the body and has
some of the most complex three-dimensional topography. The goals of facial reconstruction center on closing defects in
an inconspicuous manner. Fortunately, the robust vascular supply of the face allows for many reconstructive options
using flaps that are localized to the face.
