Abstract | OBJECTIVE: To introduce a new method of treating facial soft tissue defect by observing the clinical curative effects of traditional Chinese medicine moisture exposed burn ointment in treating facial soft tissue defect. METHODS: RESULTS: Of the 85 patients, the shortest wound healing time was 12 days and the longest was 72 days; the facial appearance and functions restored to be normal in 74 patients, with good skin elasticity and mild scar formation in the wound area; 11 patients were lost to the follow-up; two patients suffered from the longest wound healing time due to their skin defect of nasal tip and nasal columella and the cartilage defect of nasal wings, and V-shaped defects were left at the edge of the left nostrils after the wound healing, which may be attributed to the ineffectiveness of MEBT/MEBO on cartilage. CONCLUSION:
