  • Title: Use of distortions in the treatment of skin lesions of the face: the distorting excision.
    Author: Chrétien-Marquet B, Murthy J.
    Journal: Plast Reconstr Surg; 1995 Oct; 96(5):1075-80. PubMed ID: 7568482.
    Abstract:
    Reconstruction after excision of a cutaneous lesion of the face is done by various complex old and new flaps to avoid any distortion. The distortions following primary closure of defects in the face are given undue importance. We have observed and used the capacity of self-correction of these distortions, which is partially due to the muscular actions. We show our experience in various distorting reconstructions of the face in 36 patients. Because of our partial presence in a children's hospital, most of our patients were children.
