Résumé :

Free flaps are usually needed for the reconstruction of extensive facial burns, but the final result is often a poor texture and color match. The authors report a burn case managed with a radial forearm free flap. The aesthetic result was improved by surgical tattooing of the flap, including the appearance of a beard.
