[How I treat.... Nasal reconstruction].

Reconstruction of the nose is a common condition in plastic surgery, mainly after skin cancer excision. Outcomes must meet high aesthetic and functional requirements. This necessitates a thorough analysis of the defect to assess the anatomical and aesthetic deficits. Any loss of bone, cartilage or mucosa needs to be replaced. Small defects can be resurfaced by local flaps. The forehead flap remains the gold standard for complex defect.
