Abstract

Chin reconstruction poses a significant task for dermatologic surgeons due to its unique contour and shape, as well as the fact that it features the thickest skin on the face, resulting in typically poorer scarring in this area compared to other facial locations.There are numerous reconstructive options employed for the closure of oncological surgical defects in the chin region, ranging from advancement, transposition or rotation flaps to much more complex choices like free flaps. We present a case of a surgical defect in the midportion of the chin successfully reconstructed using a double island advancement flap.
