ABSTRACT
Facial skin defects pose unique challenges for the reconstructive surgeon. Aesthetically complex areas involving a free margin-such as the ear, eyelid, columella, columella-lobule interface, soft tissue triangle, alar rim, and internal nasal lining-are particularly demanding, as secondary soft tissue contracture in these locations can lead to a very poor cosmetic outcome. In these cases, composite grafts offer an ideal combination of soft tissue coverage and structural rigidity, all accomplished in a single-stage surgery. Composite grafts are often underused in facial reconstructive surgery due to the tenuous blood supply and high reported rates of graft failure.
