Abstract
Contemporary facial plastic surgery is based on achieving best possible results not only in correction of facial deformities but also in reconstruction of defects after tumor resection. It is not always an easy goal and sometimes it is necessary to perform multi stage surgical procedures to satisfy high aesthetic criteria of modern society. In corrective surgery of primary and secondary facial deformities, the most difficult task is to obtain natural look which will be socially accepted and will afford the patient normal life. Almost same criteria are in use when reconstructive surgery is in question. Doing this, at all times we have in our minds function, which should be unimpaired if not improved and aesthetic that will dominate in outside look and not interfere with function. These two main principles should be our ultimate goals in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery.
