Expanded forehead flaps offer an effective solution for nasal reconstruction. This technique minimizes donor site impact and provides a reliable option for partial or total nasal reconstruction.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Nasal reconstruction presents significant challenges in plastic surgery.
  • The forehead flap has evolved as a preferred donor site for nasal reconstruction due to its characteristics.

Observation:

  • This study reports on nine patients undergoing partial or total nasal reconstruction over three years.
  • An expanded forehead flap technique was utilized for these reconstructions.
  • Skin expansion of the forehead was employed to create a thin, suitable flap.

Findings:

  • The expanded forehead flap technique proved successful in nine cases of nasal reconstruction.
  • Complications associated with the procedure were reviewed and analyzed.
  • Key technical considerations for achieving optimal aesthetic and functional outcomes were highlighted.

Implications:

  • The expanded forehead flap is a viable and effective method for complex nasal reconstruction.
  • This technique offers a solution for challenging partial and total nasal defects.
  • The forehead donor site is well-tolerated with minimal scarring, enhancing patient acceptance.
