Abstract

ABULLARADE, J. de. Reconstructing soft tissue defects at the medial canthus and sidewalls of the nose with cheek zygomatic flap. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2009, vol.35, n.2, pp.123-128. ISSN 1989-2055.

In it's important to keep the continuity of colour, texture and thickness of the tissue in a reconstructed nose. The zigomatic cheek flap is an axial pattern flap that, when is properly designed, can follow the natural existing contour lines such as the nasolabial fold and the lower eyelid border. It gets an almost exactly replacement of matching skin quality, in one surgical stage.
