Abstract
The primary goal in unilateral facial reconstruction is to mirror, with three-dimensional or volume symmetry considerations, the contralateral normal structures in form and function. This case study indicates that, along with other proved options, the buccal fat pad can successfully be used to add small to moderate volume in facial reconstructions.
