As an incontestable social element, the face requires a functional and also aesthetic reconstruction to be the closest possible to "ad integrum" restitution as the socio-professional pressure is presently considerable. The particularities of the reconstruction of facial substance losses are presented, aesthetic unit by unit. Different surgical techniques are described, allowing a better selection of the technique the most appropriate to the reconstruction.
