Closure of infratip nasal defect by two triangular flaps.

The nasal lobule is subdivided into the supratip, tip, and infratip. Various local flaps derived from the dorsal aspect of the nose are often used for resurfacing nasal tip defects, including some parts of the infratip and/or the supratip region.1–5 Isolated infratip defects after excisional therapies are less commonly encountered. In our opinion, it does not seem reasonable to reconstruct an isolated infratip defect with dorsal flaps. This article describes the use of two triangular skin flaps based on the columella for the reconstruction of such defects.
