  • Title: Reconstruction of Cheek Defects Secondary to Mohs Microsurgery or Wide Local Excision.
    Author: Hanks JE, Moyer JS, Brenner MJ.
    Journal: Facial Plast Surg Clin North Am; 2017 Aug; 25(3):443-461. PubMed ID: 28676168.
    Abstract:
    Successful reconstruction of the cheek following excision for cutaneous malignancy requires careful consideration of defect location, size, and depth in relation to the anatomic properties of the affected cheek unit. Various reconstructive options are available to the surgeon, ranging from simple excisions to complex cervicofacial advancements to meet the needs for functional and aesthetically pleasing reconstructive outcomes. The surgeon must prevent distortion of mobile structures, such as the eyelid, nose, and lips; respect aesthetic subunits; and avoid blunting natural creases. This discussion covers choice of flap, techniques, and technical considerations for medial/perinasal, perilabial, preauricular, lateral, and zygomatic cheek defects.
