tailored to the size or type of defect, but is rather tailored to the patient’s individual needs. In addition the
patient himself and his individual requirements need to be considered, especially when it comes to complex
and stepwise reconstructions, such as prefabrication of customized flaps. Plastic surgeons can now choose
from a variety of reconstructive modalities with a broad armamentarium of techniques. In all apsects we
must not forget that the basic principles of wound healing play an essential role during every apsect of plastic
and aesthetic surgery.
