O to Z flaps in facial reconstructions

An Bras Dermatol. 2015 Mar-Apr;90(2):258-60. doi: 10.1590/abd1806-4841.20153258.

Abstract

Local flaps are the standard procedure to reconstruct facial defects. As it occurs in any surgical procedure, the incision should be planned so that scars are located in the minimum skin tension lines. We report two cases of O to Z flaps in the supra and infraciliary regions. One of them is a hatchet flap.
