Abstract

Three cases of face and neck deformities, reconstructed with free flaps in order to obtain better aesthetic results, are presented here. Nasal tip, cartilage, and soft tissue defects as well as facial burn contractures were reconstructed with a free radial forearm flap, latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap, and groin flap, respectively. Case specifics are discussed.
