Background: The treatment of nevi includes surgical treatment and non-surgical treatment. Non-surgical treatment has many defects in the clinic, whereas surgical treatment is applicable to any type of nevi. However, there is no unified standard for surgical methods.
Methods: Patients with facial nevi ( width ≤4 cm) and high requirements for beauty were included. Preoperatively, incision design and resection range based on the recommended wrinkles or folds of each region and principle of plastic surgery. Intraoperatively, a nevus flap was formed, and then equally divided by splitting technique. After the splitting nevus flap was resected, suture without tension was performed.
Results: 21 patients underwent surgical excision. 14 patients underwent complete excision, while 7 patients underwent serial excision. The patients were satisfied with the appearance, local sensations were normal, and there were no secondary deformities of the surrounding facial organs without recurrence.
Conclusion: This method is of added value, which achieved by the correct assessment of the size and location of facial nevi and designed according to the reference marks in each region and complete or serial excision.
