Use of a buried nasolabial flap to fill a depression over the lower jaw. Case report.
A viable local flap is not plagued by the problems of resorption and dissolution. If it is to be denuded and buried, however, great care must be taken to select a donor area that is as hairless as possible. Otherwise, there may be cyst formation, drainage, and infection.
