Turnover flap variations in the reconstruction of full-thickness nasal ala defects.
The nose is a vital organ and an important aesthetic unit, being placed in the middle of the face. It is also one of the most frequent site involved by skin cancer, and surgical reconstruction can be sometimes challenging. We present two cases of full thickness nasal ala defects, managed with turnover flaps with and without earlobe cartilage graft.
