We describe the different cheek reconstruction techniques with primary emphasis on the superficial layers. In addition to the clinical context, location and size of the lesion will be taken into account to choose the best method that will optimize the functional and aesthetic results while minimizing potential sequelae. Main evaluation criteria include absence of natural orifice deformation, scar location, skin cover quality and respect of volumes.
