New diversified plastic surgery methods have been introduced into practice in the last decades, aimed at repairing the loss of facial tissues involving the upper lip (with or without co-involvement of the lateral parts of the nose), and the lower eyelid area, that cannot be repaired by flaps prepared in the surrounding regions. In view of avoiding the disadvantages of 2- or 3-stage techniques the authors have re-evaluated the method introduced by Esser in 1918 for plastic repair of the facial tissues by rotation of the cheek, which is economical, efficient, rapid, and elegant, providing fully satisfactory esthetic results. Two cases are presented, one with loss of facial tissue following removal of an achromic recidivating melanoma, and another one following removal of a recidivating baso-cellular carcinoma, in which this method was employed with excellent results.
