This study presents a simple, safe one-stage repair for alar rim defects using a nasolabial island flap. The procedure offers excellent tissue viability and cosmetic results, especially for older patients.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Alar rim defects can be challenging to reconstruct, requiring techniques that provide both structural support and aesthetic outcomes.
  • Existing methods may involve multiple stages or result in noticeable scarring.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel one-stage surgical technique for reconstructing small to medium-sized full-thickness alar rim defects.
  • To evaluate the safety, efficacy, and aesthetic results of this procedure, particularly in elderly patients.

Main Methods:

  • A hinged, medially based nasolabial island flap was utilized for reconstruction.
  • The procedure was performed under local anesthesia as an office-based operation.
  • The flap provided both the inner and outer lining of the reconstructed alar rim.

Main Results:

  • The procedure demonstrated excellent tissue viability and a good match in color and texture.
  • Primary closure of the donor site was achieved without extensive skin mobilization.
  • No conspicuous facial scarring was reported post-operatively.

Conclusions:

  • This one-stage nasolabial island flap technique is a simple and safe option for alar rim reconstruction.
  • It is particularly suitable for older patients and offers superior cosmetic results with minimal scarring.
