"Facial reconstruction following oncologic resection, trauma, or congenital defect management requires a delicate balance of aesthetic restoration and functional preservation. Among the reconstructive armamentarium, local flaps remain a cornerstone of modern plastic and reconstructive surgery. By recruiting adjacent tissue with matching color, texture, and thickness, surgeons can achieve optimal aesthetic outcomes while minimizing donor-site morbidity. In 2026, advanced defect-based planning protocols leverage high-resolution three-dimensional imaging, precise anatomical landmarking, and refined understanding of facial angiosomes to elevate th..."
