It is often said that ‘first impression is the last impression’ and the very first impression is made by the way a person looks. The upper body comprising head face and neck therefore play a vital role in a person’s personality and unfortunately these parts of a human body are more predisposed to various kinds of trauma and pathologies which leave large defects. Scars are left thereafter which not only leave a deep social and psychological impact but also make it a tedious task for an oral and maxillofacial surgeon to restore the defect to pre-diseased condition. The surgeon needs to do a lot of preoperative planning to find the best suited treatment for such patients. Therefore it becomes mandatory for a surgeon to be well aware of all the techniques which would not only treat the condition but also restore the normal anatomy and texture of the site.
