ABSTRACT
Recently, deepithelialized scapular or parascapular flaps have been used for reconstruction of facial contour. The authors used a scapular osteo-adipo-fascial flap, based on the subscapular vascular system, accompanied with scapular bone on the angular branch, for surgical correction of facial contour in two cases. At follow-up, both patients showed aesthetic improvements, and were pleased with the results. The scapular osteo-adipo-fascial flap provides a technique to reconstruct facial contour, including the bony structure as well as the soft tissue.
