The temporal forehead flap is a useful flap for reconstruction of cheek defects. Experience of ten cases is being presented where folded forehead flaps were used for reconstruction of post-excisional full thickness cheek defects. It has been found that it is quite a simple, safe and satisfactory method involving the use of a single flap.
