Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Facial Anatomy

Background:

  • Nasal defect reconstruction requires matching tissue characteristics like color, texture, and thickness.
  • Complex aesthetic subunits and limited adjacent mobile skin pose significant challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the use of glabellar and dorsal nasal flaps for nasal defect reconstruction.
  • To present modifications of these flaps for specific indications.
  • To explore their application in medial canthal reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized glabellar flaps for nasal reconstruction.
  • Employed dorsal nasal flaps, an extension of the glabellar flap.
  • Modified these flap techniques for various clinical scenarios.
