Abstract:
The tint of forehead skin so exactly matches that of the face and nose that a forehead flap must be the first choice for reconstruction of a nasal defect. The forehead flap makes by far the best nose. With some plastic surgery juggling, the forehead defect can be camouflaged effectively. This article describes the author's technique in two-stage and three-stage forehead flap procedures.
