Abstract:
We report a case of nasal BCC in which the skin defect is reconstructed by a local labial-alar transposition flap. In nasal reconstruction, the local flap is the preferred methods. This flap has the advantage of a more acceptable scar, is easy to make, and less edematous than a superiorly based flap. However, for defects larger than 1cm, this flap is not advisable and the defect has to be located adjacent to th nsolabial fold.
