The author reviews his pioneering work in aesthetic restoration of the severely disfigured burn face first introduced in 1995 and refined over the past two decades. The reader will be exposed to the step by step approach to achieving cosmetic enhancement and functional rehabilitation of advanced facial burns. The keystone of the autogenous reconstruction is the pre-patterned, sculpted microvascular free flap designed to fit like the piece of a puzzle into the aesthetic units of the face to replace disfiguring burn scars. Aggressive intraoperative sculpting is employed both in situ at the donor site and during the flap transfer to simulate the normal facial contours and planes. Comparisons of the author's approach are made to the whole spectrum of reconstructive modalities ranging from conventional grafting to expanded pre-fabricated flaps and even to CTA face transplants; advantages/disadvantages of each are discussed. The pre-patterned, sculpted microvascular (MV) free flap offers the benefit of a single-stage transfer of composite skin/soft tissue hiding the seams at the junction of facial planes. When harvested from distant donor sites, the donor deformities can easily be concealed. The MV free tissue transfer offers the substrate that can be sculpted into nuanced facial components as well as the palette upon which the face can be painted with creative camouflage makeup. The soft contour and texture of the autogenous patterned transfers translates into a natural facial appearance while preserving fluid motions of facial expression.
