78 patients with Port wine stains (PWS) were treated by surgical method. The result showed that surgery is useful and effective. However, surgical scars are common and the skin grafts have more dark color than surrounding (if the skin grafts were required). So it must be very carefully in making a decision for surgery and choose a suitable method for each patient. The surgery is attempted to close local skin. And in case of the skin graft is required, it is better to take a full thickness skin graft in areas near to the face and neck.

Facial reconstruction is a way to recover facial morphology by restoring soft tissues based on unidentified skulls using the knowledge of anatomy, anthropology, aesthetics, and computer science. It is applied in forensic science, oral plastic surgery and archeology, and especially plays an important role in the identification of the origin of the unknown corpses in forensic science. Facial reconstruction is the supplementary means of identification when other approaches （such as DNA comparison, imaging matching, dental records comparison, etc.） cannot identify individual identity. Facial soft tissue thickness （FSTT） is the basis of facial reconstruction and with the development of imaging and computer science, the techniques for measuring FSTT are improving rapidly and many related researches have appeared. This paper summarizes the application of facial reconstruction in forensic science, the accuracy of different methods and the research progress of this field to provide reference to this field.

To determine appropriate surgical methods and flaps to apply plastic surgery of facial defects. Several plastic methods were introduced progressively to eight cases. From simple to complex, we discussed the direct suture, relaxation suture, Z-flap, flap-footed, combined or multiple flaps, and free flap method to decrease the tension in wounds. The skin and flaps were successful in all eight cases and healed the wounds. It is important to choose appropriate surgical techniques and flaps to repair facial injuries.
