Adipofascial turnover flap for facial contour deformity during parotidectomy.
An adipofascial turnover flap is described. This vascularized flap is technically simple to perform and provides excellent cosmetic results for patients with a very large tumor undergoing superficial parotidectomy. The flap also acts as a barrier for regenerating nerves, preventing the development of gustatory sweating.
