Nasal reconstruction is always challenging for plastic surgeons. Its midfacial localisation and the relationship between convexities and concavities of nasal subunits make impossible to hide any sort of deformity without a proper reconstruction. Nasal tissue defects can be caused by tumor removal, trauma or by any other insult to the nasal pyramid, like cocaine abuse, developing an irreversible...

Objectives: The National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines state that any nasal region with squamous or basal cell skin cancer is at high risk. Although Mohs surgery the gold-standard procedure for many types of cancer, it not applicable worldwide. A mean 1.7 stage performed in cases tumors. Nasal obstruction a problem surgery. In this study, we aimed to investigate alar nonmelanoma malig...

 Abstract Background: The retroauricular-temporal or Washio flap has been introduced for reconstruction of partial nose and cheek defects, and has many advantages. We decided to evaluate the extended use of this technique in order to repair full thickness nasal defects. Methods: Superficial temporal and retroauricular arteries are identified with Doppler flowmetry. Selection points A, B, C and ...

BACKGROUND: Nasal reconstruction remains one of the most challenging aspects of facial plastic surgery. Resurfacing of nasal defect should include a consideration of the principle of aesthetic subunits. Nasal defect can be reconstructed by local, regional, and distant flaps and the size and depth of the defects (partial or full thickness) are important for choosing the flap. Although nasolabial...

Cephalic malposition of lower lateral cartilage (CMLLC) is one of the most common objects of aesthetic and functional rhinoplasty. Constantian wrote in his article that 68% of his primary rhinoplasty cases had lateral crural malpositioning.1 To diagnose CMLLC the surgeon has to observe several parameters that were described by Sheen: malposition is “any displacement of the lateral crura from th...
