Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • The nasolabial flap is a versatile surgical technique.
  • It is frequently overlooked for nasal reconstruction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the advantages of the nasolabial flap in nasal reconstruction.
  • To expand the indications for its use.

Main Methods:

  • Review of nasolabial flap application in nasal reconstruction.
  • Analysis of flap properties for specific nasal subunits.

Main Results:

  • The nasolabial flap's properties align well with nasal skin tone and convexity.
  • Successful reconstruction of the nasal alar subunit is achievable.
  • Expanded indications include nasal tip, dorsum, soft triangle, and partial alar defects.

Conclusions:

  • The nasolabial flap is a highly advantageous option for nasal reconstruction.
  • Its application can be broadened to various nasal defects, enhancing reconstructive outcomes.
