The nasolabial flap is a reliable reconstructive technique for facial and oral defects. It offers a faster, more aesthetic alternative to complex free flaps and skin grafts for oral and maxillofacial surgeons.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • The nasolabial flap is a well-established reconstructive method.
  • It is suitable for various facial and oral defects.
  • Superiorly and inferiorly based variants are documented.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the enduring utility of the nasolabial flap.
  • To position it as a key reconstructive option for oral and maxillofacial surgeons.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of nasolabial flap techniques.
  • Comparison with microvascular free flaps and skin grafts.

Main Results:

  • Nasolabial flaps provide a rapid and reliable reconstruction.
