Available methods include skin grafts, local flaps, tissue expansion, and free flaps. These surgical options should be chosen wisely, depending on individual patient requirements and the area involved. In patients with large postburn scars and defects in which the surrounding tissue is also involved, use of free tissue transfer is extremely useful. A retrospective analysis was done between 2011 and 2019 of 52 cases with extensive facial burn deformities in whom secondary reconstruction was done with free parascapular flap cover in our department. Outcome was assessed by a direct questionnaire. There was no complete flap loss in the series. Two cases were re-explored for venous insufficiency and suffered partial marginal necrosis. Twenty patients had to undergo further debulking procedure. Forty-seven patients were satisfied by the final outcome. Postburn facial deformities are difficult to treat; in many cases, there are no local options, and tissue from different regions is to be used for reconstruction. Free parascapular flaps can be used as an effective method in such cases with a high level of patient satisfaction.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jbcr\/irab204","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,26]],"date-time":"2021-10-26T15:35:22Z","timestamp":1635262522000},"page":"808-813","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Resurfacing
