Abstract

The authors describe the surgical technique as well as the indications and limitations of the East-West flap for repair of lateral defects of the tip/supratip of the nose less than 1.5 cm in diameter. This easy and reliable technique is based on the use of skin from the lower third of the nose to repair the defect. This tissue presents the same thickness and colour characteristics, which limits excessive thickness, distortion and dyschromia phenomena.
