Official title: Post-reconstructive Surgeries of Severe Head and Face Deformities: An Observational Follow-up Study

In this observational follow-up study, patients with type III-IV head and face soft tissue deformities/defects following reconstructive surgeries will be asked to fill out 3 questionnaires, either through phone calls or video calls, in order to evaluate the post-operative outcomes such as morphological and functional recovery, quality of life and patients' return to the community.
