Introduction: Herein we report a case of a surgical repair of double substance loss along the nasolabial groove by means of a double superior advancement flap from the cheek to the upper lip that we have here called the "double jigsaw puzzle" flap.

Observation: A 58-year-old man underwent surgery for 2 basal cell carcinomas located in the right white upper lip. The two lesions were first removed and the two defects were then carried over to the cheek symmetrically along the nasolabial groove. Read More

The facial artery musculomucosal (FAMM) flap is a well vascularized axial flap which has been described for mucosal reconstructions throughout the oral cavity. There are limited data regarding its efficacy in secondary repair of nasopharyngeal stenosis and velopharyngeal insufficiency due previous surgery and scar tissue formation. This study seeks to demonstrate the efficacy of FAMM flap procedure in patients with nasopharyngeal stenosis and velopharyngeal insufficiency. Read More

Odontogenic infections, generally caused by dental caries and periodontal disease, can result in fatal illness. We herein report a 71-year-old Japanese woman with type 2 diabetes and hemodialysis who suffered from multiple dentofacial abscesses mainly caused by multidrug-resistant Streptococcus oralis. She complained of pain and swelling of her face, with an extraoral fistula from the left cheek. Read More

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the quality of life (QOL) of patients, clinical results of the recipient site, and morbidities of the donor site between the use of free anterolateral thigh flaps (ALTFs) and radial forearm flaps (RFFs) for reconstruction of full cheek defects following tumor resection.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 52 patients who underwent reconstruction of full cheek defects using free ALTFs and free RFFs following tumor ablation at our center. The range of mouth opening, speech, swallowing, facial appearance, donor site complications, and subjective symptoms based on the University of Washington Quality of Life (UW-QOL) questionnaire findings were assessed in the ALTF and RFF groups at 3, 12, and 36 months after surgery.

Background: Reconstruction of the upper eyelid with the same eyelid tissue is desirable because of the ability to achieve eye opening/closing and corneal protection, and a lid switch flap is a useful method. For total defects, almost all of the tissues of the lower eyelid should be used; however, the reconstruction of the lower eyelid donor site has often been undervalued. Reconstruction with an insufficient amount of soft tissue often results in complications such as lagophthalmos and ectropion. Read More

Background: Facial palsy patients require reconstructive surgery because they suffer from an expressionless and deformed appearance especially during smiling. To gain a natural smile, various dynamic procedures rather than static procedures are performed. Through cadaveric studies with clinical implications on temporalis muscle and intraoral transposition, we were able to come up with a more effective and less invasive procedure than the conventional temporalis muscle transposition or lengthening temporalis myoplasty.

Oncological excision surgery in the oral and maxillofacial area amputates important structures or open cavities (sinus, nose, mouth) which are usually "closed". The disappearance of an eye, tongue, soft palate or cheek, raises serious issues regarding the resumption of partial or total functions of that region, in terms of social reintegration of the patient. In the cephalic extremity, the reconstruction material is limited, so specialists resort to resources located away from the defect to achieve closure. Read More

Aesthetically pleasing and functionally stable total maxillectomy reconstruction is among the greatest of challenges within head and neck surgery. Maintaining presurgical midface projection, contour, and cheek volume requires high-fidelity restorative control incorporating the provision of stable osseous support to prevent the relatively commonplace complications of lower lid and globe malposition. To determine the difference in position of the reconstructed infraorbital rim compared with the contralateral normal side, and its effect on globe position, lower eyelid position, orbital volume, and soft tissue contour.

Despite successfully gaining excursion after free muscle transfer for facial palsy, soft tissue asymmetry, especially around the nasolabial fold (NLF) and medial cheek, is a troublesome problem in elderly patients. An NLF reset technique that enhances midface lifts has been introduced to overcome this problem. Our study included 43 consecutive patients who underwent facial reanimation surgery with free functional muscle transfer between March 2015 and July 2017. Read More

Current goals in lower eyelid blepharoplasty include blending the lower eyelid-cheek junction, which is highlighted in the authors' six-step lower lid blepharoplasty technique. One major question in lower lid blepharoplasty is how to prevent lower lid malposition and ectropion, because these are untoward outcomes after an aesthetic procedure. In the authors' technique, they perform a superficial lateral retinacular canthopexy that is effective and safe and also prevents lower lid malposition or ectropion. Read More

Reconstruction of suborbital cheek and lower eyelid defects can be challenging in pediatric patients due to the need for lower eyelid support, lack of reliable local tissue, and difficulties of scar concealment. The deep-plane cervicofacial rotation-advancement flap is a useful technique for cheek reconstruction in adults; however, its utility in the pediatric population has not been described.

Methods: Experience using the deep-plane Schrudde flap for large suborbital defects in pediatric patients is presented. Read More

Facial nerve injury is one of the most feared complications in surgical rejuvenation of the aging face. Understanding the three-dimensional architecture of the facial soft tissue, the fascial planes that exist within this architectural arrangement, and the danger zones where the facial nerve is situated superficial and adjacent to the planes of dissection commonly used in face-lift techniques, are the keys to safety in preventing motor branch injury. The two-dimensional branching patterns of the marginal and cervical branches of the facial nerve are variable, making it difficult to ascertain exact nerve location when dissecting within the cheek and neck.

Background: Lower eyelid reconstruction is challenging because of the risk of severe postreconstruction deformities of the lower eyelid, such as drooping, entropion, and ectropion. However, the risk factors for these postreconstruction deformities are unclear. The present study aimed to quantify the drooping deformity of the lower eyelid after reconstruction using a cheek rotation flap and to identify risk factors associated with postreconstruction deformities.

Background: Cleft lip results in disruption of the nasal foundation and collapse of tip structures. Most approaches to primary rhinoplasty focus on correction of lower lateral cartilages; however, recurrent deformity is common, and secondary revision is frequently required. The authors describe an alternate approach that focuses on the foundation to "upright the nose," without any nasal tip dissection. Read More

The facial fat compartments were described over a decade ago, but their clinical relevance to both deflation and techniques in facial rejuvenation is underappreciated. Although much of the literature following their description has focused on further anatomical elucidation of compartment anatomy, clinical relevance has focused on volumetric compartment augmentation. From the authors' perspective, understanding compartmentalization of facial fat provides an anatomical roadmap of the facial subcutaneous plane and a patient-specific guide for the degree of skin flap dissection in facial rejuvenation.

Secondary surgeries of the external ear can be divided into two categories: secondary otoplasties and secondary ear reconstructions. The most frequent causes of secondary otoplasties are a recurrence, an over-corrected ear, an off-center ear, a prominent lobule, and finally chronic ear pain. Recurrence of the prominence can be treated by a new posterior stitch otoplasty, an Earfold clip, or a frame stitch. Read More

Radicular cysts are the most common odontogenic cystic lesions that occur in jaws. They rarely become problematic and are incidentally found on routine dental radiographs. As they appear to reach a considerable size prior to medical attention due to their insidious and destructive growth characteristics during the intraosseous stage, treatment often requires extensive cystectomy and skeletal reconstruction.
