Aesthetic Reconstruction of the Frontotemporal Region: The Extended A-T Plasty, A Workhorse Revisited

Conclusions: The basic principles of the A-T plasty were applied to design large advancement-rotation flaps incorporating frontotemporal and preauricular cervicofacial skin. The resulting extended A-T plasty proved to be a simple, reliable, and reproducible technique to resurface, in a “like with like” fashion, moderate to large defects located in the frontotemporal, preauricular and zygomatic facial subunits.
