Three cases of face and neck deformities, reconstructed with free flaps in order to obtain better aesthetic results, are presented here. Nasal tip, carti lage, and soft tissue defects as well as facial burn contractures were recon structed with a free radial forearm flap, latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap, and groin flap, respectively. Case specifics are discussed. © Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
