The perichondrial cutaneous graft: a facial reconstructive option for the ages (ages 1 week to 94 years).

Objectives/hypothesis: The perichondrial cutaneous graft (PCCG) possesses unique characteristics that make them a propitious reconstructive option in facial plastic surgery. The PCCG is easily harvested from the conchal bowl. Notable characteristics are that it does not contract, unexcelled color match for resurfacing facial skin, and minimal donor site morbidity.
