Expanding oral angle plasty using a subcutaneous pedicle flap to correct severe microstomia after extensive facial burns.

Expanding oral angle plasty using a subcutaneous pedicle flap to correct severe microstomia due to extensive facial scar contractures is described. This technique is especially suited for the elderly, who are unable to tolerate large skin grafting of the face, and for patients with insufficient normal donor skin to undertake extensive correction of scar contractures.
