Abstract
Facial degloving injuries are due to separation between the skin and subcutaneous tissues from the underlying muscles, bones, and fascia. These injuries often create a reconstructive challenge for surgeons especially when there are associated complications like wound infection or necrosis of the avulsed flap. This case report presents management of a case of facial degloving injury with full thickness necrosis of the avulsed flap. The authors concluded that treatment of such complex wounds requires a multi-disciplinary approach along with proper planning and staging of the surgical procedures for optimum aesthetic and functional outcomes.
