Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Prosthodontics

Background:

  • Nasectomy, the surgical removal of the nose, presents significant reconstructive challenges.
  • Reconstruction aims to restore both form and function, impacting patient quality of life.

Observation:

  • A case report details the treatment of a 63-year-old female patient post-nasectomy.
  • The patient underwent reconstruction using an implant-supported nasal prosthesis.

Findings:

  • The study describes the specific technique employed for the implant-supported nasal prosthesis.
  • Advantages of this prosthetic approach, including esthetic and functional outcomes, are discussed.

Implications:

  • Implant-supported nasal prostheses offer a viable reconstructive option for nasectomy patients.
  • This technique may improve patient satisfaction and functional recovery after nasal loss.
