Zusammenfassung:	Since 1996, 13 patients have undergone the reconstruction of facial skin defects with subcutaneous bipedicle island skin flaps. The reasons for the surgery were basal cell carcinoma in 10 patients and benign skin tumor excision in three patients. All defects were reconstructed with subcutaneous bipedicle skin flaps without significant complications. Bipedicle subcutaneous skin flaps are a useful alternative for facial reconstruction.
