**4. Discussion**

Body and facial defect, injury, congenital deformities, status post-tumor excisions, secondary contractures are common encounters in daily practice of plastic surgeons.

In this chapter, we present miscellaneous kinds of measures employed for resurfacing, contour restoration and functional rehabilitation of the face, extremity, and body parts. Tissue expansion, tumor excision, skin grafting (split thickness/ full thickness), composite graft, cartilage graft, hair composite graft are commonly used measures. Flap surgery should be elaborated in proper situations. Selection of proper tissue for reconstruction is of utmost importance.


The ailments that were cited and treated are as the followings:

The flaps that we described and introduced in this chapter were as the followings: forehead flap, Abbe flap for upper lip reconstruction, cheek flap, nasolabial flap for nasal defects, greater palatine artery flap and pharyngeal flap for complex palatal defect, dorsalis pedis free flap for penile and urethal reconstruction, free
