Abstract
Common site to harvest the full thickness skin graft for facial and cervical coverage is the upper arm and post auricular area. Compared to split thickness graft, full thickness graft is superior in skin elasticity, recurrence of scar and matching of normal skin4. The full thickness skin graft harvested from the donor area to fit the defect should be closed in an aesthetic tension free method to preserve valuable tissue.
