BACKGROUND Prefabricated flap is an important technique to reconstruct facial skin defects. There is no any procedure for full facial reconstruction, and we are the first one to accomplish it. METHODS Instead of the traditional supraclavicular island flap, we choose nonexpanded flap pedicled by the anterior perforator of transverse cervical artery (ap-TCA) to repair the whole facial deformity. RESULTS Nonexpanded prefabricated ap-TCA flap repaired full facial deformity successfully. CONCLUSION Nonexpanded prefabricated ap-TCA flap is one of the best options for male full facial deformity patients.
