A 22-year-old fair female with severe scarring over the entire mento-sternal region underwent tissue expansion of both supraclavicular territories using curved cylindrical expanders measuring 12.5cm × 5.5cm × 6cm (vol 350cc each) []. After excision of the defect, two flaps, the right flap measuring 16cm × 14cm and the left flap measuring 14cm × 7cm, were harvested and the defect resurfaced with the left flap placed cranially and the right one placed caudally. The recovery was uneventful and the color and texture match as well as the pliability of the flaps was satisfactory [Figures and ]. At the 8-month follow-up visit, the neck extension was complete and the cevico-mental definition was maintained. The donor sites were closed primarily.
A 19-year-old female with a post-burn scar over the right lateral side of the neck underwent resurfacing using a right supraclavicular flap measuring 8cm × 6cm. The distal 1–2cm of the flap necrosed but we could advance the rest of the flap to cover the defect []; however, the result was suboptimal aesthetically.
