Large Indian forehead rhinoplasty. Case report

The classic Indian rhinoplasty, with a midline forehead flap, was performed on 4 young adult patients with "cut noses". The rather large flaps survived in all cases, without a delay procedure, and the results were surprisingly good. The appearance of the donor area is, however, a problem-especially in patients with pigmented skins. The method is relatively simple and we believe it to be of value in selected cases.
