We performed simultaneous facial scar repair and oral aperture open with a windowed, bilateral, bipedicled deep inferior epigastric perforator flap (DIEP flap) in a 20-year-old male patient who had suffered from severe postburn scar of the face and neck in association with serious cicatricial microstomia. DIEP flap is a typical perforator flap that has less donor site morbidity because of a minimal sacrifice of muscles. Since bipedicled DIEP flap can provide the largest skin territory in the lower abdominal wall and ensure a sufficient blood supply to zone IV, it is very suitable for the repair of massive defects of the face and neck. From our challenging case, we learned that bilateral, bipedicled DIEP flap is an excellent option for the repair of large faciocervical defects. Bilateral, bipedicled DIEP flap, which can produce an excellent esthetic and functional outcome, has reliable blood perfusion, provides soft and pliable tissue, and causes the minimal donor-site morbidity.
