Use of Forehead and Nasolabial Flaps for Nasal Reconstruction: A Case Series

AbstractBackground: Nasal reconstruction requires restoration of both form and function while respecting aesthetic subunits. Forehead and nasolabial flaps are among the most reliable regional flaps for complex nasal defects. Methods: This retrospective case series includes 15 patients who underwent nasal reconstruction using forehead and nasolabial flaps following trauma or oncologic excision. Outcomes assessed included flap survival, complications, aesthetic integration, and airway function. Results: All flaps survived completely. Minor complications occurred in a limited number of cases and were managed conservatively. Overall aesthetic and functional outcomes were satisfactory. Conclusion: Forehead and nasolabial flaps remain dependable options for nasal reconstruction, particularly for alar, tip, and multi-subunit defects.
