Facial Reconstruction: The Nuances of Managing Undesirable Results

Abstract

Given the visibility of the face and the importance of its cosmesis, undesirable results following facial reconstruction present significant challenges for both the patient and the surgeon. Intraoperative measures and postoperative management can ameliorate some unfavorable outcomes, but others may require more extensive intervention. Approaching undesirable results with a frank assessment followed by shared decision-making not only improves outcomes but is also essential for patient satisfaction.

Keywords
