Surgical tattooing as an aesthetic improvement in facial reconstruction with a free radial forearm flap.

B Coessens1, J Van Geertruyden, A De Mey.   

Abstract

Free flaps are usually needed for the reconstruction of extensive facial burns, but the final result is often a poor texture and color match. The authors report a burn case managed with a radial forearm free flap. The aesthetic result was improved by surgical tattooing of the flap, including the appearance of a beard.
