["Chinese hat" flap].
A design of a new type of advancement flap is described and called "chinese hat" flap. It uses the properties of the traditional advancement flap combined with rotation at the two distal edges, that overlap the height of the defect like two claws. This allows direct suture for larger defects with a prominent dog ear that become level with time. Two cases illustrate the procedure.
