ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES Nasal reconstruction has be one of the most challenging procedures in reconstructive plastic surgery. Small nasal defects may be closed by primary suture or covered by small local flaps or skin graft. But in large nasal defects, we need to find a bigger source of color and texture matching tissue that will ensure functional and aesthetical outcomes. MATERIAL AND METHODS...

BACKGROUND Total nasal defects present daunting challenges to the reconstructive surgeon. The nasal skeleton can be successfully fabricated with bone and cartilage. Reconstruction of the nasal skin with a forehead flap produces an excellent color match for nasal skin. Resurfacing of the internal lining is the most difficult of the 3 layers. Local tissue is often unsatisfactory in amount and/or ...

Nasal reconstruction has continued to advance in accordance with Menick's vision as it was first conceived. His combination of radial forearm free flaps the gold standard paramedian forehead is highly regarded for producing superior outcomes, and received widespread praise a consequence. In this study, we present nine patients who had nose using flaps. All successful outcomes. Using FACE-Q ques...

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is an indolent, slow-growing malignant skin tumour. Approximately 70% of the tumours occur in the head and neck region. The nose is a common site for malignant skin tumours, such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma because it is exposed to the sun. Excision of the BCC will leave the nose with a soft tissue defect which requires reconstruction. This rep...

Large full-thickness nasal tip defects after Mohs surgery present a challenge to the reconstructive surgeon. The interpolated paramedian forehead flap is the standard modality to repair such defects, especially when exposed cartilage is present. Despite providing an excellent cosmetic outcome, some patients are reluctant to undergo this procedure due to the associated temporary deformity, the p...

Reconstructing the 3-dimensional structure of the nose requires the maintenance of its aesthetic form and function. Restoration of the correct dimension, projection, skin quality, symmetrical contour, and function remains problematic. Consequently, modern approaches of nasal reconstruction aim at rebuilding the units rather than just covering the defect. However, revising or redoing a failed or...
