Reconstruction of Acquired Lip and Cheek Deformities Flashcards

1
Q

Three considerations are essential in choosing a reconstructive method and orientation of a flap for cheek defects

A

where laxity exists
where resulting scars will lie
the need for excision of residual
cutaneous deformities after flap transfer
