Although unusual in head and neck surgeries, necrotizing fasciitis may have drastic consequences. Dental problems, burns, trauma, and peritonsillar abscesses often cause the condition. We describe a rare case of extensive facial necrotising fasciitis secondary to carbimazole&amp;ndash;induced agranulocytosis. A protective tracheostomy, prophylactic thyroidectomy, serial surgical debridement, and broad-spectrum antibiotics therapy were initiated. Our team referred the patient for subsequent soft tissue reconstruction. Reconstruction was challenging as it involved a full-thickness cheek defect extending to the oral commissure, lower lip, and anterior neck. In a single-stage procedure, we utilised a transverse upper gracilis free flap to reconstruct full-thickness tissue loss, provide tissue bulk, and seal the dead space. Reconstructing various parts of the face and lips while ensuring aesthetic and functional results can be difficult.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-justify:inter-ideograph&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span sans-serif=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;font-family:Calibri,&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-MY&quot; style=&quot;font-size:12.0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:200%&quot;&gt;&lt;span new=&quot;&quot; roman=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;font-family:&quot; times=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#0e101a&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
