Progress on reconstruction of skin defect of the cheek

doi:10.19438/j.cjoms.2017.05.019

Abstract

Abstract: Reconstruction of the cheek presents a challenge due to its exposed location and relatively limited amount of tissue. At the same time, as the largest aesthetic subunit of the face, the cheek is adjacent to the nose, eyes, lips, mouth and other important facial organs. Reconstruction of defects should be guaranteed with high quality while the shape and function of surrounding organs are not affected heavily. According to the size, level, location of the defects, oral and maxillofacial surgeons need to choose ideal methods, so as to achieve desired functional and aesthetic outcomes. This article reviewed different ways of reconstruction of skin defects of the cheek.

Key words: Cheek reconstruction, Defect of soft tissue, Reconstruction with flap
