Article Synopsis
- Secondary intention healing has been a trusted method for wound closure for over 200 years, making it the simplest option in plastic surgery.
- Primary wound closure is the next easiest method, and both techniques are often used together in specific surgeries, like reconstructing donor sites from forehead flaps.
- This minireview argues that combining these techniques is a viable alternative to traditional flaps when reconstructing various aesthetic areas of the face, highlighting their pros and cons with clinical examples.
