Large Defect Repair (check or forehead) Procedure

Large defect repair is a surgical procedure that is performed to improve function and aesthetics following trauma, tumor removal, or burns to the cheek or forehead. These surgeries typically involve the excision of damaged tissue followed by reconstruction using nearby healthy tissue, such as local flaps or skin grafts. The goal is to restore symmetry and contour while minimizing scarring. 

Oftentimes, large defect repair procedures are expensive, making them less accessible to many patients. Smith Medical Direct Specialty Care offers affordable surgery options to ensure all patients can get the quality medical care they deserve.

When is This Procedure Necessary?

Large defect repair (cheek or forehead) is a surgical procedure recommended for patients who have a defect that poses a threat to the patient’s health and well-being. This may include situations where the defect is a result of trauma, skin cancer removal, or other underlying medical conditions. In cases where the defect is deep or large, surgery may be required to restore both function and appearance. Additionally, if left untreated, there may be an increased risk of infection, scarring, or complications.

What To Expect

Patients will be under general anesthesia to ensure their comfort throughout the procedure. The surgeon will begin by removing the damaged tissue from the cheek or forehead. Once the defect has been excised, the surgeon will proceed with reconstruction using various techniques such as skin grafting or local tissue rearrangement. Attention to detail is crucial to achieving optimal aesthetic outcomes while preserving function. Once the goal of the procedure has been met, the patient has been monitored as they are removed from the anesthesia.

After the procedure, patients may experience discomfort in the region of the incision. The area must be kept dry and covered to prevent infection. In the event the patient experiences any abnormal or alarming symptoms, they should promptly consult their surgeon to find a solution.
