function but cosmesis. Both split thickness skin grafting and full thickness skin
grafting (FTSG) are used in facial reconstruction. This article describes the common

FTSG the authors use in the reconstruction of nasal vestibule stenosis, external auditory
meatal stenosis, and full thickness scalp defects.
