Abstract

We describe a method to repair full thickness defects of the nose using a glabellar flap as the lining of the nasal cavity and an expanded forehead flap for external closure. We consider our method useful in the reconstruction of a nose with a full thickness defect for which the flap donor site is limited. The patient was a 45-year-old man who underwent resection of a basal cell carcinoma located over the dorsum of the nose which was associated with a hemangioma simplex on the face. As a result, about two-thirds of the nose, from the dorsum to the tip, as well as a part of the right cheek became deficient and the right nasal cavity became exposed. The nose was reconstructed using the above-mentioned method. The result was satisfactory both cosmetically and functionally.
