Abstract

Various local flaps have been used for reconstruction of developmental and post surgical soft tissue defects of maxillofacial region. They include nasolabial flap, palatal pedicled flap, buccal fat pad, temporalis muscle and fascia flap. An ideal flap for all indications is yet to be found. Our experience with free dermal fat graft in the correction of deformities associated with Parry Romberg syndrome and oral submucous fibrosis is presented.
