“…Besides, nasal valve distortion, caused by excessive upper lateral cartilage harvest or abnormal intranasal scarring, is a potential complication that can be avoided with the superior vestibular flap. Mutaf and Temel have recently reported satisfactory outcomes with the Mutaf unequal Z‐plasty procedure for total or subtotal lower lid defects in 24 patients over a 12‐year experience …”

Background: The terminal and perforating branches of the infraorbital artery (IOA) are poorly described. Its anatomical situation and mucosal component could provide an interesting donor site for mucosal reconstruction. The aims of the following study were to establish an anatomical description and to assess the feasibility of mucosal perforator flaps for eyelid and nasal reconstruction. Methods: Twenty-three fresh cadaver hemifaces were studied in order to perform an IOA anatomical classification by recording the artery's characteristics, its course, number, type, and diameter of terminal branches. We also examined the feasibility of local flaps for facial reconstruction. Results: We highlighted five different types of courses. All cadavers had at least one superior vestibular branch with a caliber of ≥0.4 mm. A pedicled flap arising from the vestibular branch was raised in all dissections. Conclusion: The vestibular perforator flap based on the IOA seems to be a reliable flap in reconstruction of mucosal defects.

“…Even if other flaps achieve successful results for the same surgical indications, the IOA‐mucosal perforator flap should be added to surgeons' armamentarium as a secondary tool, all the more so as several steps are necessary, including restoration of both the cutaneous and cartilagineous layers …”

“…The ideal technique of blepharoplasty still remains debateable, and therefore different variations in the surgical approach have been described [6,[8][9][10][11][12] . These are aimed at improving aesthetic outcomes and reducing postoperative complications associated with the procedure.…”
